When installing VisualSVN Server upon installation I get the error "VisualSVN Server services cannot be started...". This only happens when I set the repositories location to a network drive (both with a UNC path and with a mapped drive). Error does not happen if I use a local drive. I believe this is because it is not getting the necessary privileges for the network location. The network location is on a Windows Home Server so it has limited options. The user account I am running as has full access but I presume the service is running under local system which does not have full access.
Anyway, I found a work around: When the error message comes up, in the "VisualSVN Server" service is already in the services list. While the error message is up, change the service to run as the user account that has full access to the network share. Once this is done, click Retry on the error message box and this allows it to continue successfully. Not sure if there is a better solution to this problem but thought I would let people know.
