Hi, Thank you very much for your work on TPP.
I'm sorry to say, but there are serious bugs in TPP 4.8 installer for windows. 1. The installer search for Apache installation only in one specific folder ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.3 ), thus if Apache is installed in any other location it fails. The default installation folder for Apache server supplied with the installer is C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2 2. The installer overwrites PATH environment variable to "C:\Intepub\tpp-bin" instead of adding the value to the PATH existing in the system. This bug is specifically bad, since it leads to malfunction of a lot of other software in the system. 3. There seems to be hardcoded location for perl installation as well. This issues make it impossible and somehow dangerous to use the installer. Therefore the only suitable option is to compile everything from the source, which sounds a bit to complicated. The better option was to distribute TPP as simple zipped binaries. As far as I can judge, the installer just unpack files to hardcoded folder, and modify some variables in system path and apache conf. Zipped binares and a decent installation instruction would serve the same way much better.
