waiting for the 0.15 package, I'll do in this way

maybe you mean http://bazaar-vcs.org/WindowsDownloads (the page
WindowsInstall does not exist)

excuse me for my unexperience with bazaar/launchpad code navigation,
but from the page https://launchpad.net/bzr-repo-push I can't find
nothing to download/install

another question... on my work machine I can't install Python: can I
use the plugin equally ???

as a sidenote, on the page BzrPlugins the repo-push plugin is marked
as "not tested" on windows...

surely I'll like it


PS
a note on the bazaar-vcs.org site: I'm on Windows 2000, IE version
6.0.2800, and when I open any bazaar web page in another window (SHIFT
+ click on a link) IE freeze and I have to close it with
CTRL+ALT+CANC.

it's a known bug ???


PPS
many thanks for your help, and the bazaar community for this good dvcs...
