As far as I know, this should be available on all newer windows
versions (not XP IIRC).

I think on windows you're usually supposed to use the win32.cbc or
win64.cbc, so I would recommed you try that instead (our docs in that
area are practically non-existent currently, sorry!)

You may still want to file a bug about this in bugzilla.gnome.org
though.

Cheers
