Omar,

Your problem is that when ViewVC went to go launch the required GNU diff
program, it couldn't find it.  Did you set the "diff" configuration variable
in the [utilities] section of your viewvc.conf file?  If not, and if
"diff.exe" isn't locatable in your system's %PATH%, ViewVC will raise the
Exception you see.
