-There might be many reasons you want to not conventionally install GRAMPS. You might have heard about a new feature you want to try that hasn't been released yet. You might be interested in adding a new feature. You might be interested in getting under the hood to take a look around. In case you have a stable working version of GRAMPS, you would not want to disturb that installation by installing something experimental on top of it.

-Fundamentally all you need to run GRAMPS on Windows is the const.py file which is generated from the template named const.py.in. During generation, the GRAMPS version is placed in const.py.

 This is the 100% proper installation strategy that allows you to skip nothing and install into weird places. People do that either because they lack root access and cannot install the regular way, or because of their personal reasons (e.g. weird systems without /usr dir :-). If you fall into this category, start with the [http://gramps.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gramps/trunk/gramps2/INSTALL?view=log INSTALL] file shipped with the source.
