its appears there is an error on the intallation. it fails on creating the default portal. seems the path is being truncated all the way to the drive e.g. (e:\) where as it should be [in my case] e:\domains\k\komdomain.co.uk\user\htdocs\.

i'm still trying to figure out why its doing this

This is in general caused by not having the right permissions on the directories.
