- Install python (I used 2.6, pretty straight forward, run an exe)
- Install py-crypto - you need this for ssh/sftp (Again, just an exe install not too painful, just choose the right one)
- Install paramiko, this is the SSH client. Once again, just an exe for the ctypes support, and a python module. Again, choose the one that matches your python version.
- Now get bzr and install it.
- Finally, add the python scripts to your path (advanced environment variables), and your ready to use BZR from the command prompt - still no gui!
Compared to the simple install, setup and use procedure for SVN I can see why Bazaar isn't a popular choice. I've not tried GIT, but I'd suggest trying GIT over BZR for a distributed versioning system.

Try Mercurial. It's easy to use (http://hginit.com/) and Tortoise Hg is pretty mature on Windows. Plus BitBucket offers free private hosting.
Thanks for the suggestion, that was a good tutorial. I'll give it a shot
Why not just use the Bazaar installer? Installing things from the source code is never going to be easy. That's why people prepare packages. The Bazaar Windows installed includes everything you might need to start with Bazaar.
I haven't looked in the last six months, but getting Git on Windows has previously been extremely irritating as well. Hg is my preferred choice when I need to do development on Windows: it's basically the same as bzr but apparently much more performant for big projects.
Thanks for the advice David.
I forgot to mention the paramiko windows binarys are available here:

paramiko also requires the ms vs 2003 redistributable package.
obviously it would be too easy if MS provided this. so you can get the files from dllfiles:
