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-ms
i/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/http
d/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.

Hi Johnathan,

I'm listed on that wiki page as the last editor only because
I fixed a
link in the text. Windows isn't really my area, but I know
there are
others on this list who would like the opportunity to
discuss this
issue further. I've CCd two of them in particular.

OTOH if this is a matter of fixing a  bug in the server, you
might try
the devhttpd.apache.org list instead.

Thanks for getting in touch,
