VS 2003 with VSS 6.0d after installing Beta 2.0 of VS 2005

I previously was developing with VS 2003 and VSS 6.0d, then I tried installing Beta 2.0.  I realized that my VS 2003 is now using VSS 2005 (integrated with it) and as a result, I am having a number of problems with my previous project under source control.  Show differences produces a number of exceptions which I have found in the newsgroups (for previous versions of VSS) is a result of having 2 versions.

What should I do to revert the configuration of my VS2003 to use VSS 6.0d instead   I couldn't find any options from VS 2003 menus.  Or should I continously use VSS2005 and just have to do something

    Hi Joey,

    You can open a command prompt, go to the VSS 6.0d install folder and run "regsvr32.exe ssscc.dll" and "regsvr32.exe ssapi.dll" (or if you want you can reinstall the VSS 6.0d from CD)

    Then close and reopen the VS2003 shell and it should use the VSS 6.0d provider.

    Thats why is not recommended to install beta products on production machines. 

    Beta 2 installs visual source safe as part of the installation, just put your dvd and click add or remove vs 2005 components and remove visual source safe, after it I would reinstall visual source safe 6.0 d and analyze the database.
