Try bzr qlog. I guess this will satisfy your needs even without graphviz.

Go to the directory where bzr has installed (e.g. C:\Program Files\Bazaar)
and run tbzrcachew.exe program. If it fails with error -- you can show
this error or file bug report, and hopefully someone can help here.

As another alternatives you can use `bzr qbzr` command. It's very limited GUI,
and have some issues though.

Many commands have GUI interface via QBzr plugin, and this plugin shipped
with standalone installer. If you can teach your coworkers how to run
q-commands from command line, it may satisfy many requirements IMO.
