I'm using CVS on windows (and *nix), the installation is trivial. Just
download this zip archive
https://ccvs.cvshome.org/files/documents/19/886/cvs-1-11-20.zip
and extract the file cvs.exe to a directory that is in your path. Done.
I'm often lazy and simply drop the file in C:\Windows\System32 since
that's already in the path. It also makes "some" sense since the directory
is already contains other command line utilites.

PS. If you want to, you can of course create a new directory and make sure
that the PATH variable points to it.
