==Installation==
The originalinstructions for installation on Windows are given [[Windows installer|here]], but they were written when a Windows user also had to (manually) install various other programs ("dependencies") in order to get GRAMPS to work. A more-modern way (and a much easier way) to install GRAMPS on Windows is to use the "all-in-one" [[Gramps_Software_Bundle_for_Windows|installer]], since it has all the needed programs ("bundled").
Many of the comments on this wiki page were written for that first/original installation method, when many things had to be manually done or configured. Here are two examples of that (which may be safely ignored if you have used the all-in-one ([[Gramps_Software_Bundle_for_Windows|GrampsAIO]]) method.
==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==
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 onewill 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.
