The crux of the bug is that the [installpath]\conf\* tree is propagated by rewriting temporary installs (under %temp%) of the various config files. During the install process. This is done by invoking the awk.exe binary using a substitution script. Our trick is that we need to teach the installer that only \conf\ and \logs\ can be rewritten during install and operation. Of course there are other possibilities of using user Documents tree, but as a system service, this makes a little less sense than usual. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/win32-msi/trunk/ contains the install shield sources of this packaging. Any helpful tips would be appreciated, Jonathon. Best place for this discussion is packagers@ since it's outside the usual scope of the 'documentation', we'd simply like to get it right for this installer package (and some other packagers use this same msi packaging). If you could include packagers@ in your replies, we'll drop docs@ from the dialog for the moment (except to bring them back good word that it's been addressed). FWIW - we can use http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/apache_2.2.4-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi (as seen through the table view in orca) to discuss it, since the current installshield format isn't as readable.
