Yup that matches what I see on my local install. None of the paths
with a : in them will work, but it's doing the "expected thing by
trying to strip the leading '/' from the path to make it a relative
path. On Windows that just removes the 'C' 8-/.

That looks much better.

Hurrah success.

Now that I have a windows platform to work on I'll see if I can fix it
to install the docs, templates etc. in a better place.

Since it looks like you might want to use the tracker in the German
language, I tried testing in German by manually change the URL to add
the:

    @language=de

query parameter. For example:

    http://loclhost:8917/demo/?@language=de

(note adding @language=none should return you to the browser defaults.).

In testing the locale files are not being found. I have debugged it
and gotten something that shows the German trnslation in the web
interface. But I am not happy with the "fix". So to get a German
speaking tracker, you might need to wait a bit.

Have a great weekend and thanks for reporting back.
