RE: Setup a CVS server under Windows XP

Then if you have any questions contact the CVSNT newsgroup not the one
you just used:
http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt
or
news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt

Try asking on the above newsgroup.

Most of the problems users experience is they modify the settings.
CVSNT just usually works out of the box - simply define a repository and
that is it.  Other settings are for advanced users only.

That would be known as fiddling with the settings.  Windows TEMP
(particularly on XP) Is very complex in it's permissions, the default
usually works provided you have not set "run as user" in the control
panel.

Or maybe if it is so critical to you to work so quickly you should:
A) ask questions on the correct newsgroup
B) pay for professional support
