Hey Guys, i am going to setup my own EQ Server. I will follow this Tutorial:
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=ws1129r222

But there is One Point (at this time) where i have a problem.

Install CVS and Download PEQ Quests / DB

To continue getting the downloads we need, cvs will need to be installed. So go ahead and do that, accept any default options and continue with these steps.

* Create up a folder named PEQ-Quests (wherever you are storing your downloads at)
* Open a command prompt
* CD to the directory you just created
* Download the quests by checking them out of a cvs repository, using the following command

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@eqemuquests.cvs.sourceforge.net :/cvsroot/eqemuquests co peq_quests



I installed the CVS, i created a folder named PEQ-Quests, opened cmd, cd'ed to my PEQ-Quests folder and entered the command.
But there is the problem: it sais, the command "cvs" is either misspelled or could not be found.

what can i do? There was no error by the install or something.

It sounds like the install location for cvs isn't included in the environment variable (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable) PATH (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable#System_path_variables). Easiest way to verify if from a command prompt:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>echo %PATH%

It should return something like this, plus the directory to the cvs executable:
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32 \Wbem

If not, you will need to add it to the PATH variable:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Path\To\CVS\Directory

Hope this helps.

ok, i "echoed" the Path, and there came
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32 \Wbem;C:\Program Files <x86>\Bitvise Tunnelier
can that be the problem? should i delete Tunnelier?

and when i will add it with
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Path\To\CVS\Directory
should there be "Directory" or the directory of CVS?
