Oh, so this is only a rare bug. BTW, I do use Windows XP Pro + SP2. > The problem that manifested itself was that the CVSNT CP did not > register inside the regular CP.

I said, no problem, I'll try through the shortcut in the cvsnt program group, but that one still failed to start. I also tried to run CVSNT.cpl through the cmd, but no success. C:\Winprg\cvsnt\CVSNT.cpl My XP is installed into C:\WinXP\ directory, that may be the only thing which may affect the installation. I use ZoneAlarm as firewall, and have antivir siftware installed, too, but I would excude them as origin on the CP problem. I have several things registered into CPanel, like Quicktime or Lavalys Everest software, but none of them had CP registering problems. I will try my best to track down this CP issue.

We will see if this is really a bug in CVSNT installer or not. If something else is causing, then it is still a compatibility bug. Anyway it is reproducible for me for all 2.5 & 2.5 versions. Let we try to track down, what is causing the problem, so you could reproduce the case. > It is *not* the reason!

I have already no problem with msi installers, as I was forced to use msi installers by the ActiveState software, too. However I aggree, that I like better the one-file installers, and even better those software, which can be installed with a simple copy process, without the need of an installer. I will use that CVSNT version, which can support me a working CP, no matter if is separate installer or msi. Currently this is the outdated, but working v2.0.51d.
