Other than the painful installation of non-windows Bugzilla, any recommendations with an open source bug program that is just as good but with a damn .exe or .msi out there?

Never used it, but Trac might be of use here. And yes, it does have a damn .exe. :)

:) weird, just went there but do not see a download for an .exe in the list

@coffeeaddict: that's odd because i do see http://ftp.edgewall.com/pub/trac/Trac-0.11.4.win32.exe

Trac is easily extendable by plugins and there are tons of them on the web. Every 3 months someone comes to my office and says "I found this replacement of Trac, a XXX, and it has the BBB functionality, lets switch it!", and I say "but it doesn't have X, Y and Z functionality. How about We could add BBB to Trac with a plugin". And it's like "oh, I haven't thought about that, XXX doesn't have a plugin system". "Right.". I wish You have fun using it.

You can try Redmine - a painless installation is provided by BitNami Redmine stack.

looks like it only runs over mySQL or is it local file system based?

It can be configured to use either MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite. However, I believe that BitNami comes preconfigured with MySQL. Btw, the stack will install everything you need: Apache, MySQL, Ruby, Redmine and perhaps something else as well.

Working with redmine in the last 3 weeks and it's love! You can use Bitnami Stack to setup and running in few minutes
