>Making Bugzilla work on windows is still a very painful processes.
      The Bugzilla Team is working to make it easier, but that goal is not
      considered a top priority. If you wish to run Bugzilla, we still
      recommend doing so on a Unix based system such as GNU/Linux. As of this
      writing, all members of the Bugzilla team and all known large installations
      run on Unix based systems.
      </P
><P
>If after hearing all that, you have enough pain tolerance to attempt
     installing Bugzilla on Win32, here are some pointers.
     
       Because this is a development version of the guide, these instructions
       are subject to change without notice.  In fact, the Bugzilla Team hopes
       they do as we would like to have Bugzilla resonabally close to "out of
       the box" compatibility by the 2.18 release.
