Actually cvsnt NEEDS the path-setting.

When I try to create a repository when the path is not yet set (using the 
cvsnt-GUI) I get the message
"Repository initialisation failed. To see errors, type the following at the 
command line:
 cvs -d d:/CVS/cvsrepo/Test init"

When I do this (type this at the command line from cvsnt's folder) it seems 
to work.
It also works when the path environment variable is set properly.

A small additional info:
I just checked and : writing the path to the registry (both positions) does 
NOT update the system path, even if I broadcast WM_WININICHANGE.

Regards,
Ralf
