Re: Problem with MSVC install script

Well, I was checking out from a different cvs server, and had things set
to use CVS EDIT, where everything is read-only by default, until you
issue a cvs edit command.
So many files that aren't built by the build system, but just get copied
as-is, end up read-only.

But it would be true for any files set read-only.
