VSS and two versions of LabVIEW open is BAD

[JÞB]

Wow,

So I had LabVIEW 2009 up for scratchpad code (so it would not try to add into my project in 2010)  A trick I play to keep my scratch code out of my development.

I just got a second monitor and am still getting used to having "stuff over there">>>> and forgot to Close LabVIEW 2009 per my normal operation when I finish in my scratchpad.

Hit the old "Add to SCC" on some new vi's in the main project.   They did add.... and LabVIEW 2010f4PDS went totally unresponsive in ways I've never seen.  Yes I have SCC configured on both LabVIEW versions and auto-connect to VSS during launch.

Luckilly I save often- lost ZERO work but......Should I be able to connect to VSS for multiple LabVIEW versions simultaineously?  or would that be a totally brain-dead way to cause hair loss?

VSS and even ONE version of LabVIEW is BAD!

You would have to check with Microsoft to see about compatibility between different versions of LabVIEW vi using VSS as NI has no control of how VSS handles the vis.

And no matter what you find out keep in mind that VSS is no longer under development by Microsoft and support will soon end.

See this link. Then switch over to SVN!
