My c:\usr is quite locked down, thank you very much :) > You can customize your installation locations. We already enable that in the MSI installer. > C:\Program Files is protected by the OS. C:\ Root is protected by the OS as well. The point isn't to run it as a unix app on windows, but to be a first class citizen. To do that, it's all about respecting conventions. It appears that convention is now C:\ProgramData\Vendor\Application\ The idea moving fowards is there is only one copy of the program, by default in the usual location, but the ability to install a skeleton of a service (conf, logs, htdocs) anywhere, usually ProgramData as the global/system server, but optionally a private-for-one-user flavor in their own \Users\[username]\AppData\Local [or Roaming?] profile, if they like. Still working this through. Making win32 more unix-like doesn't help win32 folks become acquainted with Apache, very much. But if you like to install everything under c:\opt\httpd you are welcome to do that, instead :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
