Ok, I had to add the following line in the httpd.conf file.

SetEnv TRAC_ENV "C:/svn/trac.db"

inside the <location "/cgi-bin/trac.cgi"> block.

This could be added to the windows install guide where this block is
specified but I will not add it myself as I do not know if it should
replace the TRAC_DB environment variable or replace it.

TRAC_ENV is in httpd.conf - look at the new generic install directions

Cheers,

The following error is sent to the browser when attempting to access
trac.cgi on my 0.7 trac installation:

Where is the TRAC_ENV supposed to be set and what value should it hold?

Oops...

Trac detected an internal error:

Missing environment variable "TRAC_ENV". Trac requires this variable to
point to a valid Trac Environment.

If you're upgrading to 0.7, you need to convert the db to an env
first, which is documented here:

<http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/file/tags/trac-0.7/UPGRADE>

(i.e., the UPGRADE file in the trac distribution).
