Yes, it forces the use of a directory like Programs\Gnuwin32, that is because: - The path to GnuWin32 MUST be *without* embedded spaces in order to work properly everywhere - I don't know how to throw up a dialog for selecting an extra install directory using Innosetup. As it is I use the built-in one, but I check that the viewcvs directory is also without embedded spaces. >2) I run both Apache and IIS on our box.

Can we be given a choice of server if more than one is detected? Yes, this is a case I have not covered. I thought that there could be only one web server installed on a given PC, so the detection used stops as soon as one is found, in this case Apache. Again, I would need to bring up a selection dialogue in Innosetup if two are found. This might be easier though, I will look into it. >3) Currently I am also getting an error during the "Finishing >installatio" phase that says: "Python.exe - Entry Point Not Found - The >procedure entry point CryptEnumProvidersW could not be located in the >dynamic link library ADVAPI32.DLL".

But the previous installer version was tested on NT4 and worked fine. I haev not changed anything in the way it works for NT4, so I expected it to still work. However, if there are issues inside Python, I am unable to do anything. > >If there is something to tell me how to set it up manually in Apache, >can you point me to it.

Then add this to it, in the neighborhood of your other scriptaliases: ScriptAlias /viewcvs c:/programs/viewcvs/www/cgi/viewcvs.cgi (The installer will replace an existing line in httpd.conf that aliases wiewcvs or if that is not found then add this line at the end of httpd.conf) After this restart Apache and you are done. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
