The server will not work.... several operations need this value. >Also things like workspace manager rely on it. > Something I don't understand here: I think that Torsten talked about CVSNT in the *client* role. If that is so, why is it not possible to have multiple versions of CVSNT on your PC and select which one to use? In WinCvs for example there is a configuration entry to tell it *which* cvs.exe to use and I have used this many times in order to verify different versions when troubleshooting cvsnt itself. In these cases I have folders containing all the binaries for various versions and I point WinCvs to them in to test compatibility. If it turns out that the client will always use the protocol dll from the server installation (I always have the server installed on my workstation) then it will become impossible to test old client versions against a new server or vice versa. So basically: Is your answer really about how the *client* works and should work? It would be much better if the first choice for protocol dll is the directory from which the cvs.exe was loaded! Or maybe I don't understand the discussion.... /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
