[Koha-win32] Koha 2.0.0pre4 is available for Windows

[robweir at alum.drexel.edu]

A Windows install package for Koha 2.0.0pre4 is now available. Visit the
KohaOnWindows section of the Koha wiki at
http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=KohaOnWindows for download
links and several pages of information and instructions for installing and
running Koha on Windows.

This install includes the latest versions of all required Perl modules for
both Active State Perl V5.6.x and V5.8.x. In addition, the install has been
tested and tweaked to run with either MySQL V3 or the new MySQL V4. The
install includes a set of sample data and a set of blank data (these aren't
perfect - they need some work). Note that you must download and install the
Apache Webserver, MySQL database, and Active State Perl as pre-requisites
before running this Koha install. Download links and full instructions are
given at the above mentioned wiki pages.

Koha 2.0.0pre4 is a pre-release, meaning it still has some bugs and features
that do not work. However it is close enough that several libraries are
using it (on Linux platforms).

I would welcome suggestions for how to improve the Windows install package
for future versions. I would also greatly appreciate if someone could
contribute a better set of sample data to include in future installs. Or
perhaps someone could clean up and fix up the current set of sample data and
then send me a copy.

Please address any suggestions or questions to
koha-win32 at lists.sourceforge.net
