That's about the only thing I can think of as well, though it seems like WinCVS should create the dir. I would certainly double check the directory structure on your driver though.

well this was going to be a clean download of the source, so I could then merge my changes into the new header build. So It needs to create the directory. It created all the others :(

Is there any other information that goes along with that error? Does it actually download anything at all? or does it just stop when it gets to that dir?

1. You login by going to wincvs menu item admin and clicking on login. You fill in the password that is requested. After a second you get a code 0 indicating that you have been granted access.
2. In the modules window (the left box on the screen) you find the torque subdirectory and click on it once - it turns blue indicating you have the focus.
3. In the menu on the top you click on modify then in the pull down menu you select Update Selection. A dialog box appears called Update Settings. You check the fourth box in that list - Create missing directories that exist in repository. After that you click on the OK button on the bottom. All the latest files should download (This is the HEAD version). In addition, if any directories are missing they should be created and filled in.
Is this what you are doing?

Just a quick check to make sure you are updating the same way I am.1. You login by going to wincvs menu item admin and clicking on login. You fill in the password that is requested. After a second you get a code 0 indicating that you have been granted access.
2. In the modules window (the left box on the screen) you find the torque subdirectory and click on it once - it turns blue indicating you have the focus.

yes I have been doing this exact samething for months. It stops as soon as it gets to that directory, after downloading other stuff.

Very weird. Try this. Rename the fps directory to fps2. Now go ahead and repeat the process for Update as I detailed above. Make sure you check the box to have it create new directories if they don't exist. You will see an error when it finds an "extra" subdirectory in your system with a CVS subdirectory that matches but it should continue and download the new version of the fps subdirectory only.
