Help Required for Bugzilla Installation on Windows

[Charlie Powell]

Yeah, if you want to test out the features of BZ, I'd be partial to suggest grabbing VirtualBox from Sun, installing that on your windows machine, then running some Linux OS as a virtual machine. May save a lot of time and headaches, as I know Perl and win32 don't play together extremely nicely all the time. 

Other then that, the error message you received looks like cvs-mirror.mozilla.org doesn't exist, probably because it doesn't. Instead of downloading the newest source version, just grab the 3.4 package.

installing in windows is a hard work. 

in linux (fedora) for example you can setup bugzilla in less than 5 minutes.
