This really _IS_ a great project, it puts up with stupid users like me and even tries to save them from themselves. I apologize to all for my disparaging remarks. :) I realized that I didn't have the JDK in my system PATH variable. I thought I had verified that but I must have been in a caffeine low. install.exe works now and I was able to successfully start the server. Thanks to all. I am still working on the CVS part. Cheers.
