Pardon me, but here is a bit more info. I'm running Terminal Services, so the installation is done from "Add/Change programs" thing in control panel. I get the same error if the lock service is stopped?! After my uninstall/reboot/reinstall the cvs service control still remembered my old repository prefix and added repository. Where does it keep that? I presumed it must be in the registry but I can't see it there. I got the source but visual studio 6 doesn't like it: looks like it needs 7 (which I guess is Visual Studio .NET). Maybe one day we can switch to the more cvs-friendly eclipse+mingw (see http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-ecc/).
