All windows nastyness : character encodings, backslashes, ugly paths (D:\folder), case insensitive filenames, odd (non rwx) access rights on files and folders...
You are going to blast losts of pain forever
Remember to backup everything (files and database), to swap to same CMSms version and the possibility to rerun the install wizzard to regenerate a clean new config.php (uncheck "create tables" to keep your database content).
Have fun with CMSms
