Yes, unfortunately this problem exists. But plug-in work analisys showed
that there are no any errors and everything shoul work fine (also other
projects VS 2005 work fine) For comparison we had to find and install
Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 6.0d,and on working with it the same problems
appeared and only with Wix projects. This way we may suppose that the
problem is in Wix itself. If you find information about how to make Wix to
work with Visual SourceSafe we will continue discuss this question. At this
moment we draw a conclusion that Microsoft Wix is not stable and can't
work with SCC API. We are very sorry that couldn't help you

Here it is. Repository created with TortoiseSVN 1.5.4, project created and
added to source control with Visual Studio 2005. The file "Product.wxs" is
in a modified state, the solution and project files are unmodified.

Please pack and send me your test project and repository.

Yes, the error shows up even when I use a fresh local repository that
contains only a small WiX test project. I added the project to source
control without problems and I can do "Get Latest Version", see the history
etc. as described previously, but I get that error as soon as I select
"Get...", "Check out...", "Check in..." or "Undo check out..." (after
editing the file externally so it shows up as checked out).

I see a pattern here: the commands that open a dialog box will fail and the
dialog box will open (after the error) with an empty tree; those that don't
open a dialog box work fine. The notable exception is "Show pending
checkins" that opens without problems and shows me the pending checkins,
but only in flat view mode. When I clink on the "Tree View" button, I get
the error again.

I downloaded and installed WiX 3, and I hadn't any problems yet,.
Will this bug repeat if you create and connect the project to local
repository?

Same problem with 1.5.1.1. Is there something I could try to fix this?

I'm doing some tests with Votive (version 3.0.4603.0). My WiX project is of
course stored in a Subversion repository. There was no problem binding the
project to source control and I can open file properties, see the history
and compare files just fine, but I'm getting this error when I try to
commit or check out a file:

---------------------------
Unexpected error encountered. It is recommended that you restart the
application as soon as possible.

Error: Unspecified error
File: vsee\pkgs\vssprovider\csolutionnodebase.cpp
Line number: 2112
---------------------------

I suspect the problem is with Votive, not with SVNSCC, but I'm sending this
anyway to check if you have a solution. Tomorrow I will upgrade to SVNSCC
1.5.1.1 to see if it helps.
