    Hi,

    You can identify the VSS install folder for instance by reading the following registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SourceSafe\SCCServerPath.
    (This gives the location of the MSSCCI dll ssscc.dll)
    Then, to launch VSS explorer you should run the "ssexp.exe" application from the same folder as ssscc.dll.
