Bug Description
Because Bazaar 2.1.1 appears to be unusable with repositories access across the network on Windows (bug report already exists and is diagnosed as a bzr core issue), I just attempted to install bazaar 2.2b2.
The install failed, with an error creating a temporary file, but the filename was blank.
I manually typed out the entire contents of the error message in a notepad file, but then at the end of the Install, it prompted to reboot, and did not prompt to save the file, so I lost all the text (that was surprising; Windows should prompt for unsaved notepad files, in my experience).
I have no TortoiseBazaar context menus, so I deduce that the install failed.
However, I do have bazaar 2.2b2 as an entry in my Add/Remove Programs & Features, so it is partially installed.
I will uninstall it. I could retry installing it, to capture the exact error message, if that would help?
Otherwise I will attempt to go back to a previous stable version before 2.1.1; I still have an older stable version installed on another client, and it is working with repositories on network shares, so I know of a working version to which to roll back.

I did find my failed install notes:
Install failed: Runtime Error (at 9:666): yFile: The file "" was not found.
Internal error: ExtractTemporar
I have since uninstalled (2.2b2) (no errors), rebooted, downloaded it again (bzr-2. 2b2-setup. exe), and installed it again. This time it gave no errors. NB: This time I did not have a previous version installed.
However, I again have no TortoiseBzr menus. I'll repeat the install again to see if that was an option that I need to manually check.
