-Installing a development environement on Windows
-================================================
-
-Setting up a Windows development environment is not too complicated
-but it requires a series of small steps.
-
-We propose an example of a typical |cubicweb| installation on Windows
-from sources. We assume everything goes into ``C:\\`` and for any
-package, without version specification, "the latest is
-the greatest".
-
-Mind that adjusting the installation drive should be straightforward.
-
-
-
-Install the required elements
------------------------------
-
-|cubicweb| requires some base elements that must be installed to run
-correctly. So, first of all, you must install them :
-
-* python >= 2.6 and < 3
-  (`Download Python <http://www.python.org/download/>`_).
-  You can also consider the Python(x,y) distribution
-  (`Download Python(x,y) <http://code.google.com/p/pythonxy/wiki/Downloads>`_)
-  as it makes things easier for Windows user by wrapping in a single installer
-  python 2.7 plus numerous useful third-party modules and
-  applications (including Eclipse + pydev, which is an arguably good
-  IDE for Python under Windows).
-
-* `lxml <http://codespeak.net/lxml/>`_ library
-  (version >=2.2.1) allows working with XML and HTML
-  (`Download lxml <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml/2.2.1>`_)
-
-* `Postgresql <http://www.postgresql.org/>`_,
-  an object-relational database system
-  (`Download Postgresql <http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgdownload.do#windows>`_)
-  and its python drivers
-  (`Download psycopg <http://www.stickpeople.com/projects/python/win-psycopg/#Version2>`_)
-
-* A recent version of `gettext`
-  (`Download gettext <http://download.logilab.org/pub/gettext/gettext-0.17-win32-setup.exe>`_).
-
-* `rql <http://www.logilab.org/project/rql>`_,
-  the recent version of the Relationship Query Language parser.
-
-Install optional elements
--------------------------
-
-We recommend you to install the following elements. They are not
-mandatory but they activate very interesting features in |cubicweb|:
-
-* `python-ldap <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-ldap>`_
-  provides access to LDAP/Active directory directories
-  (`Download python-ldap <http://www.osuch.org/python-ldap>`_).
-
-* `graphviz <http://www.graphviz.org/>`_
-  which allow schema drawings.
-  (`Download graphviz <http://www.graphviz.org/Download_windows.php>`_).
-  It is quite recommended (albeit not mandatory).
-
-Other elements will activate more features once installed. Take a look
-at :ref:`InstallDependencies`.
-
-Useful tools
-------------
-
-Some additional tools could be useful to develop :ref:`cubes <AvailableCubes>`
-with the framework.
-
-* `mercurial <http://mercurial.selenic.com/>`_ and its standard windows GUI
-  (`TortoiseHG <http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/>`_) allow you to get the source
-  code of |cubicweb| from control version repositories. So you will be able to
-  get the latest development version and pre-release bugfixes in an easy way
-  (`Download mercurial <http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/wiki/download>`_).
-
-* You can also consider the ssh client `Putty` in order to peruse
-  mercurial over ssh (`Download <http://www.putty.org/>`_).
-
-* If you are an Eclipse user, mercurial can be integrated using the
-  `MercurialEclipse` plugin
-  (`Home page <http://www.vectrace.com/mercurialeclipse/>`_).
-
-Getting the sources
--------------------
-
-There are two ways to get the sources of |cubicweb| and its
-:ref:`cubes <AvailableCubes>`:
-
-* download the latest release (:ref:`SourceInstallation`)
-* get the development version using Mercurial
-  (:ref:`MercurialInstallation`)
-
-Environment variables
----------------------
-
-You will need some convenience environment variables once all is set up. These
-variables are settable through the GUI by getting at the `System properties`
-window (by righ-clicking on `My Computer` -> `properties`).
-
-In the `advanced` tab, there is an `Environment variables` button. Click on
-it. That opens a small window allowing edition of user-related and system-wide
-variables.
-
-We will consider only user variables. First, the ``PATH`` variable. Assuming
-you are logged as user *Jane*, add the following paths, separated by
-semi-colons::
-
-  C:\Documents and Settings\Jane\My Documents\Python\cubicweb\cubicweb\bin
-  C:\Program Files\Graphviz2.24\bin
-
-The ``PYTHONPATH`` variable should also contain::
-
-  C:\Documents and Settings\Jane\My Documents\Python\cubicweb\
-
-From now, on a fresh `cmd` shell, you should be able to type::
-
-  cubicweb-ctl list
-
-... and get a meaningful output.
-
-Running an instance as a service
---------------------------------
-
-This currently assumes that the instances configurations is located at
-``C:\\etc\\cubicweb.d``. For a cube 'my_instance', you will find
-``C:\\etc\\cubicweb.d\\my_instance\\win32svc.py``.
-
-Now, register your instance as a windows service with::
-
-  win32svc install
-
-Then start the service with::
-
-  net start cubicweb-my_instance
-
-In case this does not work, you should be able to see error reports in
-the application log, using the windows event log viewer.
