That happened when cvsnt went corporate because some customers wanted a closed system (=MS) solution rather than Open Source (= Innosetup)... This means that existing cvsnt installations must be uninstalled before the new versions can be installed using that installer. Since I am allergic to InstallShield after version 2.13 and MSI ins particular because of the non-intuitive way they work and are programmed I am trying to prolong the life of the Innosetup cvsnt installer. I also feel that cvsnt should be Open Source all the way. So I do this by grabbing the binary snapshot Tony puts out on releases and running it with the Inno script to produce a setup that connects with the old setups. Not much more in fact... /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
