Re: Make New Module Error - Local Folder

Yes, the F: drive for me is a local hard drive and not network.  I've tried
entering every combination of a folder path and still get this error
message. From the error message it looks like I should be able to enter
/code as the folder path and that's it. But it doesn't work.

I've found that if I manually create a CVSROOT directory in my repository
folder TortoiseCVS will immediately fail when I try to create a new module
saying cvs [import aborted]: Couldn't open default trigger library: No such
file or directory

However, if I don't create the folder and click the checkbox telling
TortoiseCVS to "initialize a new repository here (make a CVSROOT folder)"
then it just continues to give me the errors:

cvs [init aborted]: Couldn't open default trigger library: No such file or
directory

cvs [import aborted]: /code/CVSROOT: No such file or directory

in a continuous loop.
