RE: Subversion Win32 Installer RC

Hello,

I'm a longtime lurker on this list. Thanks everybody here for their
great work.

I tried the new installer, and saw different behavior. I am running
Apache httpd 2.0.59. First of all, I stopped Apache and ran the
un-installer for Subversion 1.4.2. Once this process completed, I ran
the installer for 1.4.3. During the installation process, I was never
prompted for the location of the Apache installation. (I assume you are
guessing at the proper location, and prompting if you don't find it.)

Like Peter, the apache modules were not installed to the Apache
directory tree. However, the httpd.conf file was pointed to the modules
in the Subversion directory.

Incidentally, I did not modify the httpd.conf file after I uninstalled
1.4.2. After the installation of 1.4.3, however, I had two entries for
each of the Subversion modules. Can this behavior be changed? I
believe that removing (or commenting) the old entries and adding the new
ones would be fine, but perhaps prompting the user for direction would
be safer.

Thanks,
Greg Jewell
