4. Download and install MinGW from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/Mi
nGW%205.1.4/MinGW-5.1.4.exe/download. The installer will prompt you for what
components to install. You need the base components plus the C++ compiler

Note: this program has a typo that shows c++ as g++ I missed adding c++
compiler because it says g++.

Steps I took -
summary changed from run through installation on
Windowshttp://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/snapshots/ to run through
installation on Windows And this works with 2.6: 

-OK 1. Install Windows XP, Service Pack 2 (other variations should work,
untested) 
	Mine - Windows 7 -7100 RC 64-bit

-OK 2. Download and install Python 2.6.2 from
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.2/python-2.6.2.msi 

-OK 3. Download and install pywin32 from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20214/pywin32-21
4.win32-py2.6.exe/download 

-OK 4. Download and install MinGW from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/Mi
nGW%205.1.4/MinGW-5.1.4.exe/download. The installer will prompt you for what
components to install. You need the base components plus the C++ compiler 

-Ok w/change 5. Configure distutils to use MinGW. To configure distutils to
use mingw32, create a file called "distutils.cfg" in C:\Python26(not
25)\Lib(not Libs)\distutils, and put in that file: 

[build]
compiler=mingw32

-OK w/change 6. Add the MinGW binary path to your Path variable. To do that,
go to the control panel (classic view), double-click "System", click on the
"Advanced" tab, click on the "Environment Variables" button, scroll down to
the "Path" variable in the "System Variables" list, double-click it, and
append ";C:\MinGW\bin" to the path. While you're at it, might as well append
";C:\Python26(not 25);C:\Python26(not 25)\Scripts" also so that you don't
have to type full paths to run python or installed python scripts. 

-OK 7. Download the latest Tahoe snapshot from
http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/snapshots/. Unpack it. I put it in
C:\tahoe NOTE: used "allmydata-tahoe-1.4.1-r4026.zip"

-OK 8. Open a command prompt and cd to the top of the Tahoe tree (e.g. cd
\tahoe). NOTE: Does Windows Vista and Windows 7 need this "Run as
Administrator"?

-Failed 9. Run "python setup.py build". Wait a bit until it stops working.
Note that you need a working network connection because it will download
various dependencies. NOTE: see complete log below "  

File "C:\tahoe\setuptools-0.6c12dev.egg\setuptools\command\easy_install.py",
l ine 446, in easy_install
distutils.errors.DistutilsError: Could not find suitable distribution for
Requir
ement.parse('Twisted>=2.4.0')

10. Run "python setup.py install". Wait a bit until it stops working. Again,
you may need a working network connection. 

11. Run "tahoe create-client --basedir C:\tahoebase". You can pick a
different base directory if you want. 

12. Run "notepad C:\tahoebase\tahoe.cfg" to edit your config file. Paste in
your introducer FURL. 

13. Run "tahoe start --basedir C:\taboebase". Your node will start running
and connect to the grid! The Windows firewall may ask whether or not to
allow "python" to make network connections. Say yes. 

Actually, all of the MinGW steps (steps 4-6) could be omitted if win32 eggs
were available for all dependencies. I think zfec and pycryptopp being out
of date are currently the only issues requiring installing a compiler.
