These svn.exe and svnadmin.exe executables come with Subversion so you need to make sure they have been installed on the machine.

In the help file for Agent SVN there is a prerequisites section that describes where you can download these components and how to set them up. This help file also contains an extensive tutorial on how to use Agent SVN which I recommend reading.

If you have already installed Subversion then you will need to find the location of these files and make sure these folder locations are defined in the PATH.

This link shows you how to set the PATH: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm

subversion server is in Solaris. VC++ just as a client program.
I have Ecliplse for Java on the same PC do well with subversion server.
Agent SVN will not provide all necessary to access SVN server ?

Maybe I misunderstand your instruction.
I should not have a SVN server in the PC, it is in Solaris already.
Should I still need download SVN?

You will still be able to connect to that SVN server and since you have a SVN repository on that sever you will not need the svnadmin.exe tool.

Yes. You will need to install the SVN Client (i.e the SVN.EXE) as the client is used to talk to the SVN server.
I have Ecliplse for Java on the same PC do well with subversion server.

I think the Ecliplse SVN plug-in has it's own SVN client built and talks directly to the server.

Agent SVN does not have such a built in client, but instead uses the standard SVN Client to talk to the SVN server.
