NSIS update
Previously there was no problems updating using the NSIS update until the version of 2.0b4.

Whenever I try to update, I get lots of messages such as the one below:
cvs95 update: move away Bin/MakeLangID.exe; it is in the way
C Bin/MakeLangID.exe
cvs95 update: move away Bin/NSISUpdate.exe; it is in the way
C Bin/NSISUpdate.exe

etc etc etc until the end

Not sure why...

It has probably happened because you've installed NSIS 2.0b4 in a folder which you normally use CVS to update. CVS must have detected the changes, thus decided you have changed your files and has started merging. We should probably check if CVS\Root exists in the NSIS installer and update to the latest CVS data if it's there (using Bin\InstallCVSData.exe)...

It shouldn't happen again the next time you use NSIS Update.

Hi,
it happens everytime I do a NSIS Update. I didn't change the install folders. Just install it as suggested by the installer.

Try running Bin\InstallCVSData.exe and then try NSIS Update again.

It worked only after I uninstall NSIS and delete all the remnants and reinstall again. Found some CVS folders within directories that are hidden.

Well, that's a solution too :)

btw:

when i'm updating with nsis-update-tool and i choose the option "cvs, merge my changes", there are just some files, that are updated ALWAYS.
that means, if i'm updating 3 times in a minute, these files will be updated 3 times. but i can't believe, that u're releasing new versions of just those files every minute ...

this must be a bug, right?

EDIT:
the files are:
advsplash.dsp
advsplash.dsw
Banner.dsp
Banner.dsw
BgImage.dsp
BgImage.dsw
dialer.dsp
dialer.dsw
LangDLL.dsp
LangDLL.dsw
StartMenu.dsp
StartMenu.dsw
ui.dsp
ui.dsw
UserInfo.dsp
UserInfo.dsw
nsExec.dsp
nsExec.dsw

Not a bug, probably files changed on your side or DSW/DSP files that were extracted from the nightly package. Notice the character near the file name. If it's M it means the file has been modified on your side. If you haven't modified it and want the message to stop showing, simply delete the file, update again, get the U character next to the name of the file and it won't show again.

(A LITTLE BIT OFF TOPIC) I'm trying to access everytime nsis.sf.net and I can't access it, or access with much difficulty. What is going on there?

new problem with nsis-update:
cvs-update doesn't work anymore - even clean copy only initializes, then says "Task completed".

new bug in the update-tool, or temporary problem with the cvs-system??

The update tool has not been changed. If it worked fine before, try again.
