I've found that this error message masks a number of problems, some of them are handled here: http://www.devguy.com/fp/cfgmgmt/cvs/cvs_admin_nt.htm#CVSWEBIIS under the troubleshooting section. The most common reason is that rlog is not in your path, you need to download it from somewhere (http://www.gnu.org/software/rcs/rcs.html has a win version I think). And then add the location to the PATH variable in the .conf file. Another reason it may not work is if rlog cannot see the repository (it must be able to access the repository files directly. I was getting the same error because the service that was running CVSWeb did not have permission to access the repository (which, incidentally, was on a network share). The solution in this case was to tell windows the user to run the service as and use the share name in the .conf file.
