Pardon my naivete, but why can't >the installer just stop the service, install the necessary components >then restart the service? It is what it does too... In fact my version of the InnoSetup installer actually first uninstalled the existing service then installed the new one. The reboot problem comes from updating the system PATH variable with the path to the CVSNT executable directory. In order to fully make it work across the board a reboot was the simplest way to make it happen. But if your PATH variable already before contains the path to the cvsnt app dir then ignoring the suggestion is perfectly safe. A simple test on a command prompt in a non-sandbox dir will show if the path is OK: cvs --version Should either print the version info of cvsnt or an error message from Windows (if it cannot find cvs.exe).
