If you have PVCS Version Manager 7.5 installed with Visual Studio SCC integration, you may experience crashes when you launch a Visual Studio solution from Windows Explorer. The crash does not occur if you launch Visual Studio and then manually load the solution.

PVCS 7.5 does not support Visual Studio 2005 or higher but it does register itself as an SCM provider that Visual Studio 2005+ will attempt to load.

Source code control providers are registered on a machine-wide basis in the Windows registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider

PVCS can be installed standalone. However, it also appears to be installed as part of another application.

If you find that PVCS is listed in the Visual Studio Source Control plug-in list at Tools | Options | Source Control and are experiencing the described crash, you can remove the PVCS entries at the above referenced registry key to prevent the crash.

Removing relevant entries from this key (and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\InstalledSCCProviders), will prevent a provider from being available in any system that reads it (ie, all versions of Visual Studio).
