User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.15) Gecko/2009101601 Firefox/3.0.15 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Build Identifier: 3.4.3 In section indicated, the ambiguous wording should be altered to highlight the difference between HKCR\.cgi\Shell\ExecCGI\Command = "C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -T" which won't work, and HKCR\.cgi\Shell\ExecCGI\Command\(Default) = "C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -T" which will. Instead of ..."the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cgi\Shell\ExecCGI\Command with C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -T as value"... would be better ..."the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cgi\Shell\ExecCGI\Command with value (Default) = C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -T"... Since keys can't have values (they are 'folders'), they CONTAIN values. Reproducible: Always

Hum, this seems pretty clear to me. We explicitly say "as value", so you cannot do it wrong, I think.

I am a native English speaker, with a degree in computer science, PhD in physics (pending thesis submission), and 10+ years of registry hacking experience, and I did it wrong :) Maybe I'm still an idiot. Perhaps better phrased "as default value"? Explicitly stated or not, keys can contain many values, the one which is required is the one named "(Default)".

I agree that that is unclear. However, that particular piece of documentation is rarely used, since the only correct Windows install instructions are on the Wiki instead. Probably we should just refer to the Wiki from the docs.

This has been fixed in 5.0 when rewriting the Windows documentation: http://bugzilla.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing/apache-windows.html
