I've just tried it and managed it to work with following application path:

C:/program files/winmerge/winmergeu.exe

Note that you need to use forward slash instead of backslash, and you
need to specify '.exe' extension for application.

Sorry about this.

Thanks for responding.
I tried what you say, even copied the text from your post, but am still not getting any effect from the program.

I am logged in as an Administrator user but with no elevated privileges. (I doubt that is of relevance).

Please make further suggestions or request more information if you will. Thanks again.

Well, I'm working on Windows XP with QBzr trunk.

Can you update your qbzr plugin to latest version?
You have to do following:

1) Run DOS console
2) Navigate to your account's Application Data folder (on Windows XP
this is C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data)
You can use command
cd %APPDATA%

3) go to bazaar\2.0 subfolder:
cd bazaar\2.0

4) If there is not present 'plugins' directory you have to create it:
makdir plugins

5) Go to plugins subdirectory:
cd plugins

6) Get QBzr sources:
bzr branch lp:qbzr

After this command you'll have latest qbzr trunk. You can check that bzr
will use it looking at the output of command:

bzr plugins -v

At this point you have to reboot computer or logout/login to force your
Tortoise to load fresh qbzr version.

And try again.

If diff won't work anyway, please file a bug report and provide
corresponding part of .bzr.log. You can open this log with
Start -> Programs -> Bazaar -> Open bzr log file

It works! Thank you very much :)
Hope Tortoise gets that latest version integrated soon.

I now have both WinMerge and Diffuse working for Diff operation.

I'll have to experiment with Merge now. It seems to have a different configuration with 'Definition' and no 'Name,Command' option.

The only issue I found so far was when I Diff the 1st revision I get the following error because there is no previous revision:
"bzr: ERROR: bzrlib.errors.NoSuchRevision: KnitPackRepository('file:///C:/TestBazaar/.bzr/repository/') has no revision ('None',)

Perhaps in bzr 1.15.1 or 1.16. Sorry for inconvenience.

This looks like the bug in qbzr (revid:None).
Please, file the bug report about this traceback.
