GRAMPS looks during the start-up-phase for some environment variables to control several featuresversion 3. It's better to use a ".CMD" or "0.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 x and higher runs well on a bugWindows PC.

==Installation==
The graphics reports of GRAMPS are available only if you also set the right path in your environment.
@rem for the graphics reports
set path=%PATH%;C:\Programme\Graphviz 2.26\bin;
==Problems and Help==
For known problems or problem reports go to the [http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/main_page.php Gramps Bugtracker].
For discussions about GRAMPS on Windows visit the
gramps-users mailing list (or gramps-devel if you are a developer).
(In the distant past GRAMPS on Windows used to be less supported and had a separate gramps-windows mailing list, but by May 2011
it had enough active developers that the decision was made to use the regular mailing lists instead. So an
[http://gramps.1791082.n4.nabble.com/GRAMPS-Windows-f1806612.html archive] of that mailing list exists but current problems or comments should be on the regular users or developers lists.)
==Environmental Variables==
Here is another comment written for that first/original installation method, when many things had to be manually done or configured (which again may be safely ignored if you have used the all-in-one ([[Gramps_Software_Bundle_for_Windows|GrampsAIO]]) method.

==Updating GRAMPS==
You should first read the instructions (and warnings) in [[Installation#Upgrading GRAMPS|Upgrading GRAMPS]], as they are true for all platforms (including Windows).
The following comment is another which was written for that first/original installation method, when many things had to be manually done or configured. It perhaps may be safely ignored if you have used the all-in-one ([[Gramps_Software_Bundle_for_Windows|GrampsAIO]]) method,
since probably just installing the latest all-in-one version
on top of the old one
will work.
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.
