Bo,

Sorry thought that it being on a win 2003 that IIs v 6.0 was implied...

It goes through the copy phase of the install, and the install dialog has a
'finishing installation' (the last entry in the install.log is 'copying
files', it's pasted in below...), at the end of the progress bar a dialog
comes up with the error info, hit the OK in the dialog and the install goes
away. No entries are made in /inetpub/wwwroot/cgi_bin, there are entries in
the start->programs->Viewcvs for the browser and documents

an uninstall after the error takes out everything but the install.log in
/programs/cvsview, I dir a dir of the /programs/viewcvs before the uninstall
to hopefully give you a clue...

Can you supply a bit more info:
1) What kind of webserver is running on the server box (IIS/Apache)?
Including version.
2) What actually happens? Does the installer just disappear from the screen?
3) Is there a logfile created in the viewcvs directory? If so could you mail
it to me?
   It is named Install.log. It does not contain much but if it is there at
least I can
   see something.

Unfortunately I don't have W2003 so I cannot test if there are server
version issues here.

Bo,

Installing on a win server 2003, get an error toward the end of setup:
Runtime error
Internal error: Unknown constant "temp"

If I go to a cmd prompt and run set, there is an environment variable temp,
in my home dir.

Cheers,

This is to announce that I have released a new version of the Windows
installer for ViewCvs.

URL:  http://w1.858.telia.com/~u85831169/ViewCvsSetup.html

The new stuff is:
1) Uses the latest CVS HEAD version of ViewCvs as of yesterday
2) Can now detect and install on Apache in addition to IIS
3) Tries its best at setting permissions on various files and folders so it
will work.
4) The installation is built using InnoSetup 4.1.3

I have tested this installer on my Apache 2.0.47 installation and it seems
to work out of the box.
However, I am waiting for reports from the community if there are some
oversights on my part.

Cheers,

Bo Berglund
