I'm a fan of Mercurial and have been using it on Linux for a few years. Does anyone have any experience getting this installed and running on Windows Vista? The only installation instructions that I've found look overly complicated. Does anyone have a decent checklist built from their own personal experience?
Thanks
Chris
Follow-up:
After a few weeks usage, I can say that Mercurial on Windows works pretty well with tortoise. The one problem I found is that push performance seemed to be much slower than on linux.
I also discovered that cygwin has a port.

Now it's installed, Mercurial will work the same way as it does on Linux or OS X. All you have to do is load Command Prompt (Load the Start menu, then click "Run", type cmd and hit enter), then you can use Mercurial commands as normal.
To check, enter hg --version at the command line. Depending on your operating system: For Windows: Download the Mercurial installer.
To upgrade, simply use 'hg clone --pull' with a new client.
Take a look at TortoiseHg. I use it on my development environment at work (which is Windows XP) all the time and have had absolutely no problems with it. Even better, it comes with everything you need bundled in.
