FWIW, I've been using SVNService for over a year and it Just Works.
Here's how I have it configured (SVNService Properties) in the Windows
Services thingie. All of these settings were the defaults.
General Tab:
Service Name: SVNService
Display Name: SVNService
Startup type: Automatic
Log On Tab:
Log On As: Local System account ("Allow service to interact with
desktop" NOT selected)
You can enable or disable this service for the hardware profiles listed
below:
Hardware profile: Profile 1 Service: Enabled
(I have only one hardware profile, the default Profile 1)
Recovery Tab:
All failures set to Take No Action.
Dependencies:
None.
Maybe you've got several hardware profiles and SVNService is disabled in
the one you've currently selected?
