We are not using Bazaar anymore, but Git.
If you get annoyed by all the plink console windows: It seems, Bazaar is still using the default Putty version of plink, which always shows a console window. TortoiseSVN eg. uses TortoisePLink.exe, which is a modified version of plink, that runs invisibly, without a console window. It does not seem to work to replace the putty plink.exe with the TortoisePLink.exe.
 
The solution is to use paramiko, a python tool that deals with SSH connections. It seems there is the suggestion to make paramiko the default instead of plink.exe (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/414743).
 
To install paramiko now, using instructions from http://www.andreas-schlapsi.com/2008/03/29/using-bazaar-and-launchpad-on-windows/:
* Download and install the 2.7.1 release (''32-bit'') of Python for Windows: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.1/
** Don't download and install the 2.7.1 ''64-bit'' release as pycrypto won't work with it.
** If you have a newer version of Python installed on your computer you still need to install 2.7.1 as pycrypto only works against this particular version!
 
* Download and install pycrypto: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#pycrypto
* Download the zip file http://www.lag.net/paramiko/
* Unzip and run on the command line:
cd paramiko-1.7.4
c:\python27\python.exe setup.py install
* Now remove the variable BZR_SSH from the environment variables in case you have it set.
 
After following those steps you won't get the plink console windows anymore when doing any bazaar operation.
