Very ingenious - you mean how to create version 2.2.5 from 2.4?!! ;-)

Thanks Michael. I am inclined to go down the VMWare route that both you and Rory and others suggest but I am not having much luck convincing the decision makers here!
The consensus seems to be that it is OK as a long term project but that in the short term what we need is a quick database dump followed by import into a copy of OTRS running on Windows.
Just to be clear about what you are saying -
are you saying it is no longer possible to download versions of OTRS earlier than 2.3 x and install them on Windows? Or is it only AUTOMATIC installers that it is no longer possible to download?
Where can I find an automatic installer for version 2.3 x?
I could still download version 2.2.5 from ftp://ftp.otrs.org/pub/otrs/ and install it manually (using the instructions that Afshar Mohebbi has posted ) - is that correct?

Due to licensing issues there are no longer old Windows installers earlier than 2.3.x available for download.
Afshar Mohebbi has posted instructions for setting up OTRS on Windows; http://afsharm.blogspot.com/2009/03/installing-otrs-active-perl-on-windows.h... (but this is with Microsoft SQL Server, you should just install MySQL instead)
I guess it would be good to also have instructions for manual installation on Windows...
Depending on your situation you could also install VMWare on your XP workstation with linux, just as on your server. Then you would have a real test environment; which you can also use to test out upgrades or so. VMWare Server is available at no charge. VMWare workstation costs a little more but has lots of good features. Myself, I use VMWare server ;-)
Regards,
Michiel.

The automatic installer on the following page
is only for the latest version.
Is there an automatic installer I can find for installing 2.2 on Windows?
Rory was kind enough to point out the following page with downloads of earlier versions
ftp://ftp.otrs.org/pub/otrs/
but downloading 2.2.5 from here would require a manual install on Windows.
I can't seem to find instructions to manually install version 2.2 on Windows.
I have, however, found instructions to manually install version 1.3 on Windows on the following page.
http://doc.otrs.org/1.3/en/html/install-win32.html
Is there a page with similar instructions for version 2.2 or will the instructions for 1.3 be able to do the job for me?
Thanks for your help
Lev
