Here are few inconveniences regarding setup:

(1) If you add a new repository, you have to completely close the 
control panel applet and then re-open it for the server to "see" the new 
repository. This is because the applet doesn't write the registry key 
for the new repository until you push "OK" to close the applet. I think 
it would be better to create the key directly after initializing the 
repository (when the user pushes OK in the "Enter path to repository" 
dialog box).

(2) When installing using the "custom" setup type, if you change the 
destination folder in the "Setup Type" panel, when you push "Next" your 
chosen destination folder gets overwritten with the default in the 
"Choose Destination Location" panel. I think you can just remove the 
"Choose Destionation Location" panel altogether and use the destination 
chosen in the "Setup Type" panel.

(3) It seems that it is not possible to install a new version over the 
old one directly when using the installer. Instead, you have to remove 
the old version with the installer, and then run the installer again to 
install the new version. It would be nice if there was an "upgrade" 
option in the installer that did this sequence automatically. That would 
be simpler for people that upgrade often.

(4) The explanation of SSPI in the installer doesn't mention what 
operating systems it works with; in particular, it doesn't say it works 
only with Windows clients. I'm not sure what versions of clients support 
SSPI either. If you put this info in the description there is less 
chance that the question will get asked on this mailing list.


Thanks for the great updates!
