[Koha] koha on windows 7 install instructions?

I'm not surprised. Installing Koha on Windows is very difficult. I'd
recommend against running Koha directly on Windows in the strongest
possible terms. If, however, you want to brave it, Chris Nighswonger has
written a guide to how he got Koha running under Windows:
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.4

You'll need to read the documentation on using Apache under Windows to
figure out where .conf files with Apache virtual hosts go. a2enmod is for
enabling Apache modules (probably has to be at compile time under Windows),
and a2ensite is for enabling sites.

I can't offer any more help than that, as I stopped using Microsoft
products willingly before Windows XP was released.

Regards,
Jared
