“Trouble launching CVS process” when using TortoiseCVS

Question

When using TortoiseCVS, as I checkout a module, dialog (see screenshot) telling me "Trouble launching CVS process", "The handle is invalid". Any idea on how this would be happening?

Answer 1

Reinstalling TortoiseCVS solved the problem. I had another concurrent install at the time of the first TortoiseCVS install, and that must have messed things up.

Answer 2

Set a path to your NT cvs installation folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\CVSNT). Worked fine for me.

Answer 3

shouldn't it be in the form of a file URL?

is cvs.exe added to the path?

which version of tortoise? cvs? there was a bug reported with that description, according to google.
