RE: [viewvc-users] error with viewvc 1.1.17

Thanks!  I actually figured that out finally!  But what compounded the problem is the IIS was caching the page, and even after I fixed it, it kept looking like it was broken...it wasn't until I accidentally broke the web server and had to recreate the virtual folder that I saw it finally working!     Now everyone is enjoying viewvc, and I can relax and go back to working on other things.
Thanks for your help!

[ Terribly sorry for the late response.  Your message was marked
  "unread" by accident at some point. ]

So, that explains it then.  The "diff" configuration variable should point
to the program itself, not merely the directory which holds it.
