All, I have inherited a CVSNT server installation: ver: 2.5.01 OS: Windows server 2003 I believe that this was installed via an msi file, and I want to do the most painless and reliable upgrade. (One reason for my upgrade is to fix this problem: http://www.cvsnt.org/pipermail/cvsnt/2006-July/025786.html .) 1. I assume that the most painless upgrade will be again be via MSI, instead of via the more fully documented method here http://web.telia.com/~u86216177/InstallCVSNT25.html. Can I know for sure which method was used to make my current server? 2. What settings should I capture before doing this? I've got everything from CVSNT control panel, though I expect the new installer inherit these values without my help. 3. I have seen in the Windows start menu, a tool called "CVSNT password agent". Is there any way to know if the existing installation makes use of this? I ran it and a systray icon appeared (and nothing else), so I exited the systray icon. That last thing in the world that I want to do is upgrade CVSNT and discover that I have erased some passwords that are unknown to me. 4. The current installation is at "C:\Program Files\CVSNT". I understand from some posts by Bo that I should probably put the new install under C:\programs (i.e. without spaces). I assume the MSI can install where I instruct. Should I expect the MSI to uninstall the old CVSNT? You patience with these elementary questions is much appreciated. I am familiar with starting and stopping services on the server. Many thanks, Owen Kelly
