So the tempdir is still in need of special permission setup to be operational? In that case I would suggest that the installer creates the temp dir for CVS in a place *not* inside Windows\* or Documents and Settings\* and that it sets the permissions for this dir so that everyone will have full control (including SYSTEM). I have had to do a similar manipulation in the Innosetup installer for ViewCvs to make it work on XP systems and up because of the file system lockdown that Microsoft has introduced. Same thing for an application at work, which is supposed to be installed into its own folder tree off the main disk root. MS has decided that all of the disk outside "My Documents" are off limits to normal users.... /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
