This will NOT affect any repository files whatsoever and your CVSNT settings are also retained for the next step. The reason for the uninstall is that CVSNT now uses a completely different installer engine and it must be installed from scratch to work in the future. Now install CVSNT once more from the CVSNT 2.0.12a distribution. Take a careful look at the options you want to use because they are not all on by default. On the client side just uninstall WinCvs (for the same reason as above). Then install from the latest 1.3.14 installation file from SourceForge. Your settings should again be intact. This is all you need to do, the checked out files remain in their sandboxes and the repository is served by a new server. :-) /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
