 GRAMPS looks during the start-up-phase for some environment variables to control several features. It's better to use a ".CMD" or ".BAT" file to control this environment variable instead of a permanent setting in the windows registry, to have the possibility to go back to the GRAMPS standard values (especially to go back to the GRAMPS standard language - English) in the case you want to report about a problem or a bug.

-You have to place the ".CMD" file into the same folder as the file "gramps.py" or to set your environment variable PATH to include the path to the file "gramps.py". At least in one case there was a problem using a line "phytonw.exe gramps.py" in a ".CMD" file: The usage of the environment and STDIN, SDTOUT and STDERROR does not work properly. May be, there is any where a Phyton-Windows specialist who knows more about this topic or is able to solve the problem.

 For the LANG variable may be used also other values (see rel_xx.py, "register_relcalc(RelationshipCalculator,[...])) having the same effect. You should not use "LANG=de_UTF-8" as suggested before, because this value does not effect all necessary parts of GRAMPS (particularly the relationship translation may not work) only.

 You should first read the instructions (and warnings) in [[Installation#Upgrading GRAMPS|Upgrading GRAMPS]], as they are true for all platforms (including Windows).

 Windows users will need to check the version of all dependencies for each version update. The [[Windows installer]] page lists the versions you will need. If you have trouble seeing which version you have, just install the recommended version to be sure.
