Description
The latest SVN doesn't appear to expose options for location of logs directory, packages directory. Perhaps another Paraffin regen problem? I'll try to look into it later.

I think that things like CSMap and FDO don't need to be configurable as part of the MapGuide install. However, the Logs directory and the Packages directory are things that I always want to change, and was hoping to leave them.
For the Apache/PHP/etc stuff... I think that the user needs to somehow be able to choose whether to install Apache and whether to configure IIS, and if they do choose one of these, what viewer to use (Java or PHP for Apache, PHP or ASP for IIS). This may be better handled with some custom dialogs though.
A couple ideas to minimise installation complexity:
- Have a "One Click" or "Custom" choice early in the installer. One Click gives them Apache, PHP, everything in default locations. Custom gives them full feature tree.
- Don't initially expand the feature trees beyond the main features (Server, Web, Maestro). If the user wants more detail, they can drill down.
Probably due to r3680 or r3681.
I want to reduce the number of configurable items in the installer. I've hidden the features that I believe shouldn't really be configured.
A better way to answer this would be to ask: What features should not be configurable?
