In those I use a special cvs user that has only read permissions on the CVS repository. Used like this from the batch file: set CVSROOT=:sspi:readonlyuser:hispassword at ourcvsserver:/pc cvs export -r HEAD -d ExportDir Module/File cvs export.... Works like a charm and can be executed everywhere by anyone who is not a CVS member to build the setups. Only needs CVS on the path. I even have the Innosetup binaries in CVS and they are also exported and finally called by the batchfile to create the setup file. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
