"Access to file ***/rights. dat denied" error is reported when the win7 x64 VSS client fails to be connected!

When I first arrived at a company, I had to install and set up all the development environments. The 4G memory is used. To make better use of the memory, the original msdn System of win7 x64 SP1 is installed. Everything is quite good, and there is basically no compatibility or incompatibility. Today, it was said that I had to connect VSS to the server, and the user name and password had been given. My colleagues who came with me (the system is XP) were all easily connected. Only me, "Access to file ***/rights. dat denied "error. Literally, you do not have the permission to access the file. However, you can see the server in the network neighbor, or log on to the server using the user name and password, even the database settings in VSS can be set, just the last step. Ah, I thought it was a server problem, so I went online to perform crazy searches and sea searches, the solution found is the same, but it cannot solve my problem. from another perspective, I thought it was a problem of win7 compatibility, we can also see instances that can be successfully connected to Windows 7. Is it x64. I searched the internet for half a day and did not find any problems related to win7x64 and VSS. It seems that I have also succeeded. Ah, it may be a problem with RP. At the proposal of my colleagues, I installed a virtual machine virtualbox (free of charge) with a WINXP system, then use it to connect to VSS. As a result, the problem persists. At that time, I was a little impulsive. Finally, I made up my mind to change the system and install XP. This afternoon, my system and drivers are all ready. The system was ready to be reinstalled at night. Suddenly, I came up with a thought: is it a firewall problem? I remember my Firewall was not open. Forget it. I 'd like to set an exception and try it out first. So, add both visual sourcesafe administration tool and visual sourcesafe to the exception, and try again. As a result, you can connect to visual sourcesafe in a pleasant surprise. As a result, I looked at the firewall again and found that it was also enabled before fire prevention. I don't know when it was opened.

Now, let's summarize the configuration of VSS.

VSS server configuration. There are a lot of online information, so we will not repeat it. In general, there are two points: folder sharing; User Group modification and write permissions.

VSS client: allows access to the VSS server, user name, and password. Basically.

check whether the firewall is enabled on the server or client. If yes, check whether the firewall is enabled, add the Program to the exception.
