I use Roundup on WinNT, although we haven't enabled
the mail gateway (we do have Roundup send out nosy
emails, but we don't support email into Roundup).
Richard is correct in saying that most of the installation
steps are identical in Windows and Linux.
The difficulty is in setting up the email gateway.
The windows Scheduler service isn't really ideal for this -
- it's more intended for "daily at midnight" activities
than "every 10 minutes". It also varies between Win32
OSes: NT etc have an "at" command which is similar, but
more limited, than the Unix version. Win9x etc only
have a graphical interface.
Ways around this are:
* write a script which at can call which resubmits itself
to at
* use one of the various shareware/freeware cron
replacements for Windows (a Google for WinCron will
throw up several, one of which is freeware)
There's a pycron32 project on Sourceforge, run by
Jürgen Hermann, which sounds ideal -- a Windows cron
implementation in Python -- but which hasn't released
anything. I suspect he's busy elsewhere...
If we ever get around to getting the email gateway
running here (it's on my list of things to do but at low
priority) I'll try and throw together some more formal
documentation.
