Since you are using a repository specification /cvsrepo I assume that
you are using a RepositoryPrefix of c:, which I don't know will work.
In all my cases the c:\cvsrepo is the top folder below which the
repositories reside as for example:
c:\cvsrepo\test
c:\cvsrepo\customer etc
in this scenario the RepositoryPrefix would be set to c:\cvsrepo and
the connection is done using /test or /customer and CVSMailer would
paste these together to yield the repository root path.
And finally it would look in the c:\cvsrepo\test\CVSROOT folder for
the users and loginfousers files.
Now, at least from CVSNT version 2.0.51 and maybe even before that,
but not as far back as 2.0.41a, the RepositoryPrefix setting in the
registry has been removed and this unfortunately breaks the CVSMailer
program....
So if this is your case I would first advice you to manually enter a
registry setting in the following location:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CVS\Pserver
Item: RepositoryPrefix (string type)
Value: The path to the location of the repository, in your case
probably only c:, but in my examples above c:\cvsrepo
This will make CVSMailer behave like before in the location of the
repositories.
I am working on an update for CVSMailer to handle all the necessary
stuff automatically, but it is not yet available.
BTW: For troubleshooting CVSMailer the best info is in the CVSMailer
logfiles, not in the cvsnt traces....
