I am getting the 'Ensure that the 'dir.root' property is pointing to the correct data location.' error which looks wrong. I am installing Alfresco Labs 3Stable on WinXP. My custom-repository.properties has
dir.root=D:/Alfresco/alf_data
And yes, there is a D:\Alfresco\alf_data on my WinXP system.
More context: I am configuring Alfresco Labs and the Ingres RDBMS but I am sure that I my jdbc, hibernate and schema setup is correct because I can see the alfresco sessions on the Ingres RDBMS. So I don't think this is the cause of the problem.
I am also running with index.recovery.mode=FULL, with an empty lucene-indexes directory which gets regenerated as expected.
The tomcat startup log shows:
[size=85]26-Mar-2009 12:42:52 org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log
INFO: Set web app root system property: 'webapp.root' = [D:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\]

org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: Ensure that the 'dir.root' property is pointing to the correct data location.

So there is a lot of stuff present and correct before this error comes up with a message that looks wrong.
