New Revision: 1937837
Log:
Remove the II.2 section 'Installing from a Zip or Installer File under Windows'
section from INSTALL.
Per the I.A Audience section, the "document is written for people who intend
to build Subversion from source code", so it doesn't look like the removed
section belongs to INSTALL.
* INSTALL
(Contents): Adjust the table of contents.
(II.D): Remove this section.
(II.E - II.G): Renamed.
Update references affected by the change.

-
- Of all the ways of getting a Subversion client, this is the
- easiest. Download a Zip or self-extracting installer via:
-
- https://subversion.apache.org/packages.html#windows
-
- For a Zip file extract the DLLs and EXEs to a directory of your
- choice. Included in the download are among other tools the SVN
- client, the SVNADMIN administration tool and the SVNLOOK reporting
- tool.
-
- You may want to add the bin directory in the Subversion folder to your
- PATH environment variable so as to not have to use the full path when
- running Subversion commands.
-
- To test the installation, open a DOS box (run either "cmd" or
- "command" from the Start menu's "Run..." menu option), change to
- the directory you installed the executables into, and run:
-
- C:\test>svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk svn
-
- This will get the latest Subversion sources and put them into the
- "svn" subdirectory.
-
- If using a self-extracting .exe file, just run it instead of
- unzipping it, to install Subversion.
