Having not installed Apache on Windows for *many* moons, I have to take
your word for this. The last time I used Apache on Windows, the binary
was called 'apache.exe', but that was ... well, certainly before 2.2
came on the scene.
Thanks for the note. Preparing a patch.

Will, I made the changes yesterday. It should all be good now. Just that
the docs on the live site haven't been updated. I need to paw through
the archives and remind myself how to do that, as I've been out of the
loop for a while.

Yes; thank you for these observations, and entirely my bad for not resyncing.
We appreciate your report.
Of course httpd.exe was to match all-other-platforms; also the change to
c:\program files\apache software foundation\ is almost seven years overdue,
and couldn't really happen during a subversion .x bump. 2.2 was our earliest
opportunity, I'll try to remember to make these changes to trunk/ of docs
now that our stable branches have their own stable homes.

Ok, verified and patched. Thanks for the bug report.
