Folks    SmartSVN 7.6 arrived and I installed it on Windows 7 using Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (from a Mac).    Yikes. It installed and was owned by SYSTEM. Can't Run It. Can't Delete It. Shhhhh-ugar. Fun on Friday.    A swift Saturday Google, found this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/how-to-delete-a-system-file-in-windows-vista/    It worked. The solution: takeown and cacls, then delete it from Program Files (x86). Run the installer and "remove SmartSVN". Run the installer (on the real Desktop, not the Remote Desktop Doo-dah). Great Relief. SmartSVN 7.6 is alive and well.    It installed perfectly on MacOS-X 10.8.4 and Kubuntu 13.04/64. The SmartSVN team are Smart!    Question: When will SmartSVN support SVN 1.8?    Robin
