The installer goes to a lot of requirement checking:
- CVSNT must be installed
- It checks the version of CVSNT
- It checks that Phython is available in the admin install mode
- A webserver must be installed (IIS or Apache)
- If both are detected then a selection dialoge pops up.
- Then the ViewCvs application is inserted as a virtual dir or web
application as the case may be depending on the webserver version.
- The ViewCvs conf file is updated with the current setup including
the repositories found in the CVSNT server
- The needed GNU applications are deployed to c:\Programs\GnuWin32 and
the bin subdirectory is added to the system path

If the detection of the webserver or CVSNT or Python fails the
installer does not continue...
