I had more errors installing then not.  After the first install, IIS was hosed.  The website couldn't bind and eventually gave a "catastropphic failure" when I tried to click on it in IIS Admin.  I finally reinstalled IIS (you know how intrusive that is to a development server) without success.  I finally discovered that the SharpForge bonehead had installed an SVNServe instance on port 80.  I'd really like to kick him in the teeth for that.  How stupid?!  It is called "SharpForgeSVN" if you experience the same thing and the following command line will delete it: sc.exe delete "SharpForgeSVNServe"

No, it will not come off after uninstallation.  Uninstalling SharpForge just deletes the website files but leaves all the rest of the mess behind including a running svnServe. 

I finally got the thing running, sort of.  It won't connect to SVN but instead provides a port 81 url to svn.  Each user requires a password with at least 1 non alpha-numeric character and 7 total characters.  Excuse me, but this is an issue tracking system, not a bank account.  Leave simple password requirements alone!  You can't add users from the administration GUI, you have to log off and "sign up".  Then you have to log back in as admin to add the user to a role.  I could go on and on but its time to just make my huge thumbs down recommendation and encourage you never, ever to attempt to install this pile of garbage on any computer you don't want to completely hose.

Open Source Software does not mean software that sucks!  Subversion is a great example.  Its clearly best in class and absolutely wonderful through and through.  If you want to open source something, make it simple and stable and then invite the world to contribute.  Don't try to sell it as a deployable sourceForge.  SorceForge works!  SharpForge
