Nevertheless, it happened.  And there's no need to guess about the
symptome since the Init process in the control panel displays the
command it's trying to execute, which was 
c:[install path]cvs ... -init
even though cvs was installed on d:.
Does it get the install location out of the PATH environment variable? 
Maybe that was munged.  If it was it's fine now.  But maybe the
re-install to C: fixed it.  If I get ambitious I'll try re-installing
to D:.  I trust that move won't affect an active repository?

Thanks.  That fits the evidence.  (Also happens on Win2000 with the
Installer upgrade.)  A readme to that effect would sure be nice.

Well, for the sake of those of us who do use the management services,
please append the version string to the other text. <g>

Thanks
