That one was shipped with the WinCVS client. And I installed the latest stable CVSNT and the Control Panel was not working in it.

I tried, and this is the result: cvs -d E:\temp\test_cvs checkout E:\temp\test_cvs cvs checkout: cwd=E:\temp\test_cvs\CVSROOT\Z\Work ,current=E:\temp\test_cvs\CVSROOT\Z\Work cvs [checkout aborted]: Absolute module reference invalid: `E:\temp\test_cvs' ***** CVS exited normally with code 1 ***** > Which checkout advice?
