Can't run in Windows 7

To Whom It May Concern:

Hi. I'm new. I'm confused about how to run Tahoe-LAFS. I've read the
quickstart guide, the FAQ, the advanced install doc, and also the How to
run Tahoe-LAFS docs and I'm still confused.

In the quick start guide, it says:

"Run "bin/tahoe --version" (on Windows, "bin\tahoe --version") to verify
that the executable too prints out the right version number after
"allmydata-tahoe:".

I don't see a windows executable after the build. In my bin folder, there's
a file called "tahoe" in there but it doesn't have .exe in there.

I tried renaming it from "tahoe" to "tahoe.exe" and then running it and it
said that it wasn't a valid 16-bit application and that it can't run in
32-bit Windows or x64 systems (or something along those lines, I forget the
exact error message).

Then I renamed it back from "tahoe.exe" back to just straight "tahoe".

And then I tried "python bin\tahoe --version" and this is what I got:

(I haven't put the python install directory into my PATH system environment
variable yet)

C:\lafs>c:\python27\python bin\tahoe --version

So I'm like REALLY, REALLY confused about what/where/when it says "run
bin\tahoe --version" because it doesn't seem to be an actual executable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
Ewen
