We have found some issues (in other application packages) with '(' and
')' characters as not all applications support that. That is why we
setting "C:\Program Files" by default as the installation directory.

Good point.

I think this is because the installation failed (due to the spaces in
the project name). If the installation had finished correctly the
installer would have done all that (create the project and restart
apache). Once the installation is finished (successfully) the browser
will show the Trac site ready to use.

Ok. You are referring to this: "trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission
add bob TRAC_ADMIN". We'll add this, it makes sense

I missed that. Any suggestion? Do you know which is the Trac plugin
that people use more?

Are you referring to configuring apache with mod_dav? The reason why
we don't configure it is because you can browse your code through the
Trac interface but I may be missing something...

We try to keep the same structure for all distributions (linux, osx
and windows). However, on Windows, duplicate these folders is
necessary if we want to avoid creating environment variables and keep
clean the user environment (as mentioned earlier we don't modify the
user environment variables).

Ah! Enjoy it :) And thanks! Really appreciated your feedback. We'll
start working on the
improvements :)

Internally in the installer we execute:
cd /path/to/Trac-0.11.6
mkdir Lib/site-packages
set PYTHONPATH=<installdir>/trac/Lib/site-packages
"<installdir>\python\python.exe" setup.py install --
prefix="<installdir>\trac"
I hope it helps.
