Hi, Chris,
I had the same issue when I first set up svnserver at home, and it took
me lots of time to figure out. It turns out that the installation
documentation (from either TortoiseSVN or Subversion) was wrong in
saying that only four dll files needs to be copied over. When I copied
all files from the bin folder to the folder where the svnserve.exe sits
(the one your service is pointing to), the problem went away and I was
happily connecting to the repository. Try it. I did not spend further
time to figure out which files were actually needed and which ones are not.
Hope that helps
Peng Zhang
