VSS WebService

Has anyone gotten a VSS database to use the Internet Access

When I try to enable the InternetService from SSAdmin->Server->Configure it goes through okay.  Although it doesn't create the VirtualDirectories.  So I created them manually as in the other forum thread "SourceSafe Web Service Configuration" But this still does not look like it starts the correct service.  And when I return to Server->Configure it does not have the Enable Internet checkbox checked. 

Also when I look in Control Panel->Services I do not see a VSS WebService.  Does someone that has this up and running see the service

Thanks for any and all help that can be offered.

    One thing I should mention.  I've installed this on the same system as Team Foundation Server.  Could this be causing some of my problems   Do I need a completely different machine for VSS 8.0

    Hi Jeffrey,

    The SourceSafe Web Service is not a Windows Service, so it will not show under Control Panel->Services.

    In Beta 2, due to a bug, sometimes the checkbox doesn't show the correct state. Try connecting to it using Visual Studio anyway, it may be properly configured.

    Regards,
