I spent two days fighting with the same problem. It turned out that CollabNet Subversion Edge 4.0.11 does not support Java 8.

The following procedure helped me make CN Subverion Edge 4.0.11 work again on Windows 7:

1) Uninstall CollabNet Subversion

2) Uninstall Java 8 (I had Java 7 and 6 side by side, so after uninstalling the 8, 7 picked up after I added it to PATH variable. It is important to add it at the very beginning of the path, otherwise Windows\System32\java.exe will be taken, which was not good for me also)

3) Install CollabNet Subverion (the important thing is to uncheck the "Run CollabNet ..." check box in the final screen. It looks like the installer is still creating files at the end and only after I have clicked OK in the final screen the needed configuration files have been created in data/conf folder.

4) Make sure that data/conf/httpd.conf file is created. If it is there, got to services (services.msc) and start server manually

Now launch the browser and navigate to localhost:3343/csvn. Good luck.
