<h4>Windows Caveats</h4>
<p> On Windows, we recommend the use of Python&nbsp;v2.6 (native, not
Cygwin). You must manually install the pywin32 package from
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/">the pywin32
site</a> before getting Tahoe-LAFS. Make sure to get the correct file for
the version of Python you are using &mdash; e.g. ending in "py2.6.exe"
for Python&nbsp;v2.6. If using 64-bit Windows, the file should have
"win-amd64" in its name.</p>
