Hi,

I'm new to Bazaar, so I hope I'm not doing anything terrible wrong.

I just installed Bazaar 0.12.0 windows installer
(bzr-0.12.0.win32.exe) and I have Python 2.4.3 installed. I'm getting
these errors:

- - - - - 8< - - - - -

C:\Python24\Scripts> bzr

bzr: ERROR: exceptions.LookupError: unknown encoding: cp0

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\bzrlib\commands.py", line 623,

    return run_bzr(argv)

    self.outf = codecs.getwriter(output_encoding)(sys.stdout,
errors=self.encoding_type)
  File "C:\Python24\lib\codecs.py", line 752, in getwriter
    return lookup(encoding)[3]
LookupError: unknown encoding: cp0

bzr 0.12.0 on python 2.4.3.final.0 (win32)
arguments: ['C:\\Python24\\Scripts\\bzr']

- - - - - 8< - - - - -

...but, if I run bzr with "start bzr", it works.

I tried also the standalone version (bzr-setup-0.12.0.exe), and I get
similar errors:

- - - - - 8< - - - - -

C:\>bzr
bzr: ERROR: exceptions.LookupError: unknown encoding: cp0

I tryied to search the archives for these errors, but I couldn't find
anything. Later I'll try to run it from the source code.

I hope this helps,
