Source code control Mks

Is it possible to insert existing Mks projects to a TestStand workspace?
I found only the possibility to Add files to the SourceCodeControl via the Workspace, but I have already created a Mks project. Now I will include the project via a Workspace in a TestStand Deployment.
Has anybody an idea?

regards Carsten

Hi, CKone
 
I'm currently going throught the pains of MKS also.
For short, Yes  Test Stand software is MKSable!
In long answer  turning out to be a pain.   I hope you are using standard driver area like c:\something here    and not in an account directory such as desktop or my folders.
If you are working in account directorys,  recompiling  is alot worse after pulling from MKS.
 
Thats the pain I'm going through.   I figured out..... i think this is right  you have to re-open you TSW file  and relink where those files are located (this is you are using a refernce to everything not an absolute path).  Once you relinked the files close the tws,   reopen the TSD and build!
 
Do not open the tsd.... re-analyse the sourse file.  If you do this  it will pretty much select everything and say you want to install the files in currently directory not the directorys you orginally had.
 
If you just went to the TSD and re-analyse the files with out touching the TSW, you will get a great laugh!   TSD will show the files are all in one big lump, and the names of the files will be cut in half.   Very wierd!
 
I can ramble on more, but just moving  (cut, paste) to a new location  seems to mess things up.
 
Have fun!

Hi Tony,

thanx for your answer. I agree, Mks and TestStand is a pain and I give it up. I found a better way to create a installer package with a third party program and not only with the TestStand Deployment tool.
