Re: 1.12.3

Hi Torsten,
 
Yes - I supplied a 'local' MSI for you last time, and I'll do it again -
but really local is for people writing CVSNT only - please update the
GUI to make it clear that this option is unsupported (there are valid
uses for :local:, but only on a server, eg: to create a repo, or to call
CVSNT from an administrative script like postcommit) - since TortoiseCVS
is a client, not a server, there just is never ever any need for
:local:.
 
Regards,

		Hi Matthew / Gordo / Torsten,
		 
		I'm considering doing a new build of the CVSNT installer
that automatically either uninstalls or displays a 'conflict warning'
when there are older CVSNT's already installed.  Something like:
		 
		CVSNT 2.0.x -- non-MSI install - UNINSTALL
		CVSNT 2.5.x -- MSI install (eg: TortoiseCVS 1.10) -
UNINSTALL (note: this is current behaviour)
		CVS Suite / Trial - MSI install - 'conflict warning'
		WinCVS with CVSNT 2.0.51 - non-MSI install - ?????
		 
		This would solve a lot of problems for our customers
(who sometimes accidentally install both TortoiseCVS and CVS Suite which
incldues our own build of TortoiseCVS) as well as problems for people
who have the trial installed and people who have 'older' versions
installed...
		 
		Tortsten would need to update the TCVS installer to
incldue a new CVSNT installer with these changes.  I'm not aware of any
serious bugs in CVSNT 2.5.05 itself that need addressing, so the
version/build would be UNCHANGED - just a new installer to deal with
these issues.
		 
		Is this a good idea?  I'm quite happy to not do it if
there is no need for it...
		

	I think it would be useful.
	
	Could this installer perhaps include the :local: protocol?
