How to resolve CVS error: cannot rename file CVS/Entries.Extra.Backup to CVS/Entries.Extra: Bad address

I've checked out a module from CVS onto a newly installed Windows 7 machine. The virus scanner has not yet been installed.

Later, when I try to do an update, I get the following error message:

cannot rename file CVS/Entries.Extra.Backup to CVS开发者_开发问答/Entries.Extra: Bad address

Has anyone seen and resolved this issue before?

I had the same issue, had to exclude the library which I checked out to from the anti-virus monitoring.

Try to disable your anti-virus and checkout the code again.

It could be issue with VirtualStore - make sure you didn't checkout to Program Files or other protected areas.

And if you can - convert your repository with cvs2svn - you'll save yourself a lot of time.

I had the same problem. After disabling antivirus/malware protection tool, I was able to resolve the problem. Also, ensure that cvsnt.exe should be running in an elevated mode.
