My task yesterday was to transfer our subversion server to our new server.  I have the binaries for subversion 1.4.3 and our repository transferred and what's left is the creation of the windows service. 

i am using sc.exe to create the windows service with the following command:

sc create subversion binpath="d:\subversion\bin\svnserve.exe --service --root d:\subversion\svnrepository" displayname="Subversion" depend=Tcpip

but i keep getting the syntax help.  i looked up the FAQ again and found out that it was just the darn space after the equal signs.  it should have been:

sc create subversion binpath= "d:\subversion\bin\svnserve.exe --service --root d:\subversion\svnrepository" displayname= "Subversion" depend= Tcpip

Can't your parser handle that? hehehe.  So if ever you encounter this problem, you know where to look at.
