I pack only what Tony puts on his website. All binaries come from
the "binaries without installer" download.
The common Microsoft files are included in the Innosetup installer.

I have no way to compile the CVSNT system myself.

Hi Bo,

I have just tried to install the latest InnoSetup version 
(http://web.telia.com/~u86216177/cvsnt-2.5.2.2094.zip), but it displayed 
a lot of dialogs about missing MSVCR71D.dll file. After having closed 
them one by one, the install finished, but the cvs*.exe files could not 
be run because of the same reason.
Don't you pack the debug version by chance instead of the release one?

Regards
Brazso
