I am trying to do this the hard way. No installer, not registry keys, etc.
I pulled this: couchdb-1.1.0+COUCHDB-1152_otp_R14B03_lean.7z<https://github.com/downloads/dch/couchdb/couchdb-1.1.0+COUCHDB-1152_otp_R14B03_lean.7z> — Use for repackaging CouchDB in other apps - no installer, just bare bones binaries of Apache CouchDB 1.1.0 with ICU 4.4.2 and Erlang/OTP R14B03 I also pulled he installer, ran it, noted file locations and registry keys (Yuck!) and then restored my system to the point before installation. This removed all files from system, anything that might have been thrown in WINDOWS directory and it cleaned the registry. I than "installed" the files from the .7z file on my secondary volume, with all my other linux tools and tried to make it work from there. When I start the SERVICE I get this error Error 1012: The configuration registry key could not be read. Wonderful! (not) This needs a reg key. :/ Is there anyway around this? If not, what is the minimal key set this needs to run? Also (if there is not a key workaround), is there anyone who can help re-"make", from the source, a windows binary that does not need REG KEYS. Thanks for your help. Walter
