?
For me it sounds, as if the IDE didn't found its config directory. In this
case the IDE tries to set some good defaults. For example for the lazarus
source directory it uses the directory, where the lazarus.exe is. But
somehow it uses the lazarus.exe itself as directory
"C:\mysvn\lazarus\lazarus.exe\". Same happens for the IDE config directory.
Could some of the windows people check what happens in
ide/include/win32/lazconf.inc InternalInit to PrimaryConfigPath.
