You are correct -- although things are getting better, even OpenOffice
was a pain to install on Windows because of having to load the
prerequisites, GTK and Ghostscript, then having to load the Help files
separately. I never could get Koha to work in Windows. All the Python,
Apache and SQL stuff was just too difficult for me.
