[cvsnt] HELP: CVS directory without administration files present

[Kunal Munjal]

  Hi All,

  I am new to CVS and would greatly appreciate it if some kind soul could 
help me with this installation problem. I have set up the CSVNT to work in 
conjunction with Tortoise CSV on windows. However when I try to make a new 
module, it gives me the following error. Just for the background, I have 
installed the CSVNT and tortoise CSV on the server, set the CSVROOT and 
CSVTEMP environmental variables which are both simply C:\CSVREPO and 
C:\CSVTEMP.


In C:\Documents and Settings\kunalmunjal\Desktop\desktop: "C:\Program 
Files\TortoiseCVS\cvs.exe" "-q" "checkout" "-d" "testing" "testing"
CVSROOT=:sserver:kunalmunjal at OUTCOMES2:2401/CVSREPO

cvs checkout: cwd=C:\Documents and Settings\kunalmunjal\Desktop\desktop 
,current=C:\Documents and Settings\kunalmunjal\Desktop\desktop
cvs checkout: in directory .:
cvs [checkout aborted]: CVS directory without administration files 
present.  Cannot continue until this directory is deleted or renamed.

Error, CVS operation failed

Error, one of the CVS operations failed


Someone please tell me what the last line of error is supposed to mean. 
Tanks in advance.

Regards:

  Kunal
