Hi Mike,
tried it out on XP, changed a few params during the install, and it
seems to be working all right for me, both service and manual start.
The only glitch I could find was that on uninstall it complained, after
stopping the service, that it was not possible to delete all files from
the "c:\program files\geoserver 2.0.0" directory.
Also checked on my wife's notebook using CrapOS (ah hem... Vista) and
it worked fine there too, with the same final warning ("some files and
folders could not be removed from ...").
Nice work!
Cheers
Andrea
