We use Visual Source Safe 6.0 at work and VB6 is supposed to integrate smoothly with Source Safe. Both applications are installed on my PC, but VB6 is not showing the options to integrate with Source Safe (e.g. checking out a file, seeing if a file is shared, etc.).
What do I need to do to get VB6 to integrate with Source Safe 6.0?

VB6 Installs just fine on Windows 7 (and Windows 8 / Windows 10) with a few caveats. Here is how to install it: Before proceeding with the installation process below, create a zero-byte file in C:\Windows called MSJAVA. DLL .
The Visual Basic 6.0 IDE is no longer supported as of April 8, 2008.
Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (VSS) is a discontinued source control program oriented towards small software development projects. Like most source control systems, SourceSafe creates a virtual library of computer files.
Check the file C:\WINDOWS\VBADDIN.INI and make sure that there is a line "vbscc=1" under the "[Add-Ins32]" section of the file. Re-start VB6 and go to "Add-Ins | Add-In Manager". The "Source Code Control" add-in should be listed.
