This happens when you dont have svn installed on your system as you can see svn:// at the beginning of the uri which expects you to have svn. You can check this by just typing svn on your command line. Grab it from here [http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=8100&expandFolder=8100&folderID=8100](http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=8100&expandFolder=8100&folderID=8100) then everything will work smoothly. Guess the correct version for you is given at the bottom of the page , svn-win32-1.4.5.zip
