Re: [viewvc-users] Problems with Initial Setup

I don't use CVSNT or IIS myself, but I thought that when it was in use,
ViewVC didn't need the RCS toolchain -- that it invoked the CVSNT program
instead.  Can you share your configuration (or at least the bits you've
changed)?  Would restarting IIS make any difference?
