title: How do I prevent Visual SourceSafe from writing the vssver2.scc file when getting a file with Microsoft.VisualStudio.SourceSafe.Interop?
body: <p>I get a file from Visual SourceSafe using the below code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>IVSSItem vssFile = vssDataBase.get_VSSItem(vssFilePath + @"/" + fileName, false);
  
  VSSItem itemVer = vssFile.get_Version(latestVersionNumber);
  itemVer.Get(ref getFilePath, (int)VSSFlags.VSSFLAG_FORCEDIRNO | (int)VSSFlags.VSSFLAG_REPREPLACE | (int)VSSFlags.VSSFLAG_USERRONO);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Visual SourceSafe adds a vssver2.scc file to each folder. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? </p>
  
  <p>I've tried various combinations of the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualstudio.sourcesafe.interop.vssflags%28v=vs.80%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">VSSFlags</a> enum with no luck. I don't need to preserve any history and the file will never be checked back in. I just want a clean checkout.</p>
  
  <p>Obligatory disclaimer: I can't switch to another source control program.</p>
