windows install bug with directories - and workaround

On a Windows/IIS install, after providing the requisite info to the installer, I found that 2 or 3 of the file paths were mangled. In both the admin screen and right in the db, the paths looked like this
d:inetpubwwwrootarea1photopost...etc
... when they should have looked like this ...
d:\inetpub\wwwroot\area1\photopost\...etc

What I had to do was manually update any of the fields that looked like the first one to look like second one. Actually, after I did that, I noticed that the backslashes \ had been turned into double backslashes \\, and the system still couldn't do uploads.
Then I manually changed those fields to use single forward slashes, like this

d:/inetpub/wwwroot/area1/photopost/...etc

which solved it.

I hope this helps someone.

Yep your installer upon install should have used forward slash's

Its a Windows thing. Forward slashes must always be used. Thanks for posting this for other people
