The following are experiences using [[Windows_installer|GRAMPS installed on Windows XP]] (version 3.0.x).
GRAMPS version 3.0.x and higher runs well on a Windows PC. For known problems or problem reports go to the [http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/main_page.php Gramps Bugtracker]. For past discussions about GRAMPS on windows visit the [http://www.nabble.com/GRAMPS---Windows-f32134.html GRAMPS - Windows] archive of the mailing list.
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 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.
The graphics reports of GRAMPS are available only if you also set the right path in your environment.
The related lines of a .CMD or .BAT file may look like this (based on the default installation of Graphviz 2.2126):
@rem for the graphics reports
set path=%PATH%;C:\Programme\Graphviz 2.2126\bin;
==Setting the working language==
==Archiving==
The new possibilities for archiving versions of a GRAMPS database are available since GRAMPS version 3.0.2but lost it's support in GRAMPS 3. 1.x (see http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=3124)
There are some special hints to use the functionality:

@rem for the graphics reports
set path=%PATH%;C:\Programme\Graphviz 2.2126\bin;
