change Windows docs to recommend Python 2.5 instead of Python 2.6 as MinGW can't build Python 2.6-compatible extensions (sometimes?)

# Additional !Build/Install Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
Hopefully, the basic install docs in
|
||||
[docs/install.html](http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/trunk/docs/install.html)
|
||||
are enough for the most common use cases. This page provides additional
|
||||
information for specific platforms.
|
||||
The quick start docs in
|
||||
[docs/quickstart.html](http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/trunk/docs/quickstart.html)
|
||||
are sufficient to get Tahoe-LAFS running on all platforms. If you have trouble getting it to work by following [docs/quickstart.html](http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/trunk/docs/quickstart.html) then please write to [the tahoe-dev mailing list](http://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev) and ask for help.
|
||||
|
||||
Please feel free to add sections to this page with anything you might learn
|
||||
while building Tahoe-LAFS on other platforms. Information which may be useful in
|
||||
the most general cases will be folded into docs/install.html .

The following procedure will install and run Tahoe-LAFS on Windows. (This is basically exactly the [http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/trunk/docs/quickstart.html docs/quickstart.html] procedure except with Windows-specific paths spelled out.) Note that this assumes that you install Python in the default location (C:\Python25), if you choose another location you'll need to adjust the instructions below:
