Visual Studio 2008 / VSS 2005: Get latest version over internet doesn't work!
In MS Visual Studio 2008 I try to get the latest version of my solution from VSS 2005 over the internet. Whenever I try to replace a local file with the file in the VSS database the following error message shows up:
One or more files could not be written to their destination folder.
Possible reasons are lack of write access or disk space.
As a consequence no files will be updated. I can't figure out where the problem may lie. The source of the problem might be VSS 2005, but then it also might be a problem of Visual Studio 2008.
I log in as an administrator and everything is set up the same way as I usually did in LAN environments. I even checked the consistency of the VSS database on the server and let the VSS analyze tool run on my VSS database.
An advice how to sort this problem out is highly welcomed.

Hello Bontempi
We have the same problem here. For most of the files the "Get latest version" command works as expected but for some files Visual Studio 2008 is asking whether to leave the local copy or replace it with the version from SourceSafe. If you choose the latter we also get the "One or more files could not be written to their destination folder. Possible reasons are lack of write access or disk space" message.
How can we solve this issue?
Best regards

Hi guys. Got the same problem.. is there any solution for this?
If you plan to use VS 2008 with SourceSafe, make sure to pick up the Update CTPtoo. Without it, some features like "Open from Source Control" will not work at all. Pay close attention to the install instructions as well. As it says in the KB article:
You may receive error messages when you use Visual Studio 2008. This problem occurs because some compatibility fixes require the Tdnamespaceextension.dll file to be reregistered after you install Visual Studio 2008. To reregister the Tdnamespaceextension.dll file, type the following command at the [elevated - RB] command prompt:
