You will wish to look and see if it is set by
checking out the CVSROOT/config file from the
repository.
Read https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.20/cvs_18.html#SEC184
If you see that you are indeed configured to use
TopLevelAdmin=yes, then Arno Schuring's analysis
that you are unable to create and populate a
C:\CVS directory is likely the root-cause of your
problem.
Good luck,
