Sure, I have no problem with that. I was just noting that the script could be massively simplified by using the new features in IS 5.1 . > Concerning the webserver detection: > The main purpose was to also install the ViewCvs application in the > webserver environment and therefore I really need to find the server > itself.

Sure, nothing wrong with that. I was just suggesting to implement a manual fallback mechanism in case the automatic detection failed. AFAICT, for Apache all you need to know really is the location of the httpd.conf file. If you cannot find it automatically, just let the user specify it himself if he wants to integrate with Apache. I don't think this procedure is necessary for IIS or Python or CVSNT as well. The detection for them is pretty standardized. For Apache OTOH there exist a multitude of different Windows distributions many of which do not leave the specific traces in the registry that you are currently checking for. Actually I have spent the morning writing a new script based on your sources (but using the new IS 5.1 functionality). The UI with all the checks and extra pages is already there. It's just not doing anything yet once you hit the "Install" button eventually... I guess I can copy most of that from your script. Stay tuned.
