I recently stumbled over buildbot and wanted to give it a try. My problem is that I have to run it under Windows because we don't use Linux on workstations or servers in my company.

I've already tried different installations:
python 2.6, Twisted-9.0.0-py2.6, buildbot 0.7.12
python 2.6, pywin32-214-py2.6, Twisted-9.0.0-py2.6, buildbot 0.7.12
python 2.4, pywin32-214-py2.4, Twisted-9.0.0-py2.4, buildbot 0.7.12

and tried to run it in a Windows XP VM.

In all installations I ran the buildbot test suite and got several errors and the buildbot documentation sais that no test should fail.

Does anybody here have experience with buildbot under Windows?
Is it worth the pain or do I have to use Linux?
