For what it's worth, I've come across this problem far too many times when installing things under Windows. I have now adopted the practice of installing native Windows applications (Photoshop, Office etc) in c:\program files and server applications like Apache, Tomcat as well as command line programs like Perl, Java, Ant etc in c:\servers or c:\apps, and then c:\servers\apache, c:\servers\tomcat etc rather than "c:\servers\apache group\apache" or whatever the default is.
These steps have meant I have been able to weed out most of the problems of developing under Windows, apart from some CVS issues for which I need to use Cygwin - though these are easily compensated for given how gorgeous Ant makes things - like updating modules automatically before building. Ant is the way forward! HTH, apologies for rambling - trying to avoid revising for finals. ;) Joel Baker.
