Has anyone out there installed KOHA onto windows 98/2000 etc ? Please let me know.
Not that I've heard of.
Where can I get the installation instructions
I would install: A web server. (http://www.apache.org is what I would go with. You will find other users more able to help you. MySQL http://www.mysql.com CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) http://www.cpan.org ) Perl http://www.perl.org A C compiler. (Visual C++ is probably your best bet. but you might be able to get gcc and cygwin to work.) YAZ http://www.indexdata.dk/yaz/ (This a library that you must compile yourself according to the website it has only been tested on windows with Visual C++ ) From CPAN you will need to install: Date::Manip DBI Set::Scalar DBD::mysql # or whatever database system you use CDK # Optional AuthenDBI # if you want to use Database based # authentication Net::Z3950 # needed for remote MARC record lookup.

<advocacy> If you don't have a compelling need to use Windows. Setting up a Debian or FreeBSD box would be _MUCH_ easier. The best help you will get is probably from using Debian. (most of the Developers use it and I use it on my workstation. Once set up you can administer the Debian box from any web browser if you install webmin. If *NIX is uncomfortable to you you can probably find a local Linux Users Group that would be very happy to help you.) On the other hand FreeBSD i Known for it's Stability. 6 of the top ten uptimes listed by netcraft http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/today/top.avg.html are FreeBSD Servers (It takes an uptime of almost three years to make the top ten.) </advocacy> If you decide to try and get Koha running on a Win32 server please let us know your experience.
