No cvsnt.cpl file in my {sys} dir....
And if so it would have shown up as the odl version too.

This line should be changed to point to the {app} dir as well, but I
don't think Control Panel icons can be created this way. (see below)

I think that Tony placed the applet into the control panel by this
registry setting (wrapped):
[Registry]
Root: HKLM; Subkey: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control
Panel\Cpls; ValueType: string; ValueName: CVSNT; ValueData:
{app}\cvsnt.cpl; Flags: uninsdeletevalue; Components: Server;
MinVersion: 0,5.0.2195
I have done the following and updated the installer on the website:
- Placed the control panel shortcut in the CVSNT program group using
{app}\cvsnt.cpl
- Checked if I had any cvsnt.cpl in {sys}, but I don't
- Built the installer again
- Ran the installer
I now have the control panel applet in Control Panel as before and now
also in the CVSNT program group. Both work and executes the same cpl
file.
I don't have a "bare" PC to test on at the moment so I cannot verify
the way it works.
However, from several months ago we had the problem also with the cpl
not showing up and then it was dus to some Microsoft dll:s not being
present in the correct version. This is hard to check on my
development machine though...
