There is a bit of confusing behaviour with error messages at validation and run-time. In particular that the messages for the same error (unable to find Subversion binary file) are different - the validation-time message doesn’t tell you the actual name of the file it’s looking for, while the run-time one does.
How did I get past the validation error? It seems that if you use F10 (step), you can bypass validation and get straight into the program. I guess this is to be expected from the lack of an “Validate Before Step” option on the Project Validation tab of Options, but it seemed a bit surprising.

PS What should the subversion directory be? I’m using TortoiseSVN, which doesn’t seem to have an svn.exe?
To answer my own question, it looks like you actually have to install SubVersion, not just TortoiseSVN. That worked. Is that right?

Hi Steve
Yes, I believe TortoiseSVN uses the api rather than calling out to svn.exe and hence doesn’t install it.
