Koha is open source and free to download, use and modify.
how to install koha on windows xp..??
Support for Windows, in general, is spotty. What documentation there is can be found at the following link: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=kohaonwindows
However, from what I have heard, it is a painful process. We really recommend Linux, and most seem to gravitate towards Debian, for running Koha.
The staff client can run on any computer with a javascript enabled web browser (and for the most part degrades gracefully if you don’t have javascript).
For Koha on Windows: http://koha.rwjr.com

What is the main difference of koha3.05 and koha3.06 and there are some mistakes in install guide of koha3.05. is it rectified in koha 3.06
How do your questions answered here? I am not even able to submit comments as the server is yet to send me a confirmation email for my registration two weeks ago.
Is z.39.50 search and import working for Windows installation with Koha 3.0.6?
Thanks
It is working today: My comment actually appeared!
The instructions (pdf file) for installing Koha on Windows at http://koha.rwjr.com is old (last updated in 2004?). Can one still use it in 2010 with 3.0.6?
Is the VMWare virtual appliance by Kyle Hall for Windows installation ok to deploy 3.0.6?
If installed it directly on Windows, does the Z 39.50 work with 3.0.6?
Once more, thanks.
reva: This is not a forum for getting general questions answered. For that you should use the Koha IRC channel or mailing list.
Thanks Owen, did not mean to ignore protocol about these things. Just desperate, that’s all. I sent a general email to the win32 mailing list, about ten days back, no responses yet. Chatted on the IRC channel last week and have been following the helpful links given there.
In the meantime, my comments about the age of documentation and the questions still remain.
reva: also, you do not need to register on the site to post comments. It only requires an email address and name.
