Information:

Operating system used:
Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1 SP 2

Software prerequisites:
none

Procedure:

Download Windows install: cvsnt-2.0.51.exe
Run cvsnt-2.0.51.exe
Accept license agreement.
Select location where CVSNT should be installed.
Select "Typical installation".
Create program shortcut.
Select Aditional Tasks: select all
Reboot your PC.
Create a repository directory: e.g.: c:\CVSRepository
Create a repository temp directory: e.g.: c:\CVSTemp
Note: The repository must reside on a local NTFS file system (networked drives as well as FAT systems are not supported).
Open the Control Panel and look for the icon "CVS for NT". Double click this icon.
Stop the CVS Service if it is running.

Select tab "Repositories", press the Add button and select the C:/CVSRepository location. Enter Name: /CVSRepository

ATTENTION:
If you intend to connect Eclipse to this CVS Repository you MUST change Name: /CVSRepository into C:/CVSRepository (use full path!)

Eclipse doesn't like CVSNT's Repository prefix feature!

When you press the OK button the following message is displayed:

"C:/CVSRepository exists, but is not a valid CVS repository.
Do you want to initialise it?"

Select Yes.

Select tab "Advanced", and change the "Temporary Directory" into C:\CVSTemp. Also enable "Use local users for pserver authentication instead of domain users."
Select tab "CVS Service" and start the CVS Service you stopped before.
Set the CVSROOT environment variable to where you want to put your source repository, e.g.:
CVSROOT=C:\CVSRepository

Before using CVS, it is recommended to update the cvswrappers file. The cvswrapper file contains file extensions which determines which file should be stored as binary files in the CVS repository. To update this file do the following:
- mkdir c:\remove
- cd c:\remove
- cvs co CVSROOT
- cd CVSROOT
- Add the following file extensions in the cvswrappers file, e.g.:
  
  *.cab -k 'b'
  *.class -k 'b'
  *.doc -k 'b'
  *.dll -k 'b'
  *.ear -k 'b'
  *.exe -k 'b'
  *.exp -k 'b'
  *.fla -k 'b'
  *.gif -k 'b'
  *.gz -k 'b'
  *.jar -k 'b'
  *.jpg -k 'b'
  *.jpeg -k 'b'
  *.lib -k 'b'
  *.msi -k 'b'
  *.mso -k 'b'
  *.pdf -k 'b'
  *.pfw -k 'b'
  *.png -k 'b'
  *.ppt -k 'b'
  *.sit -k 'b'
