Of course not, that's the point. WinCvs installer used to suggest the
<WinCvs>\cvsnt location. Now it doesn't do that any more so it will default
to <Program Files>\cvsnt. And this is where WinCvs will be looking for it
instead of subfolder of WinCvs installation. Not much change here.

WinCvs was always "scouting" for CVSNT in the file system, it was just
looking in the different place, namely the WinCvs\cvsnt folder. Now it will
look in the <Program Files>\cvsnt folder, too. There is no difference in
logic, just dufferent folder is taken as default.

If you install CVSNT in different place than default then you can always set
the cvs.exe location in WinCvs settings.

Best Regards,
Jerzy
