BTW, current structure:
[ProgramFiles]/OSGeo/MapGuide/Server [ProgramFiles]/OSGeo/MapGuide/Web
with "MapGuide" being the install base, and configurable. To hard-code the Server and Web folders, we'd only have to change the property names to mixed-case, and remove the attribute from the server and web features that allows them to be configurable in the UI.

Items that reference a path relative to the root will have an extra slash.

We already are using a custom action to do this writing, it just means we have to strip the trailing slash from the Apache dir, and adjust the httpd.conf template to match.
Replying to jbirch:
What are the effects of this setting having a trailing slash?
One of the problems with the installer technology is that the properties are set with trailing slashes and there is no way (short of a custom action) to do string manipulation on the properties.
We could work around this by making the names "Web" and "Server" non-configurable, and basing the Apache config off of MAPGUIDEROOTLOCATION. I'm actually in favour of reducing the number of public properties in the installer, so this might not be a bad approach.

tomcat.conf does not have these changes. ie. Java configuration is broken out of the box
