Hi! We're interesting to research this problem. Please could you provide more detatils?
What version of the VisualSVN Server do you use? What version of the Windows do you use? >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. Yes, you should ensure that VisualSVN Server is running under a network account with sufficient privileges to connect to the file server before using the UNC path. >When installing VisualSVN Server upon installation I get the error "VisualSVN Server services cannot be started...". Could you please also execute the following command line "msiexec /l*log.txt /i VisualSVN-1.6.2.msi" (in command prompt) and send us the produced log.txt file from the current directory. Thank you!
