1. Install
1.1 Atm, download the iReport-5.6.0-windows-installer.exe for you windows installation, the .zip version is just a Netbeans 6.0 plugin, don't download that one.
1.2 The installation would not revise Microsoft Windows' registry data, so you don't have to own administrator's privilege to install this software.
2. Setting
2.1 Language setting
I prefer English for almost all software, Add '--locale en' at the end of $ireport_home$/etc/ireport.conf/default_options.
