Honestly, I would not bother trying to install Koha on Windows. In my opinion it is not worth the trouble.
The easy way to go is to dual boot your windows machine so you can choose between Windows and some Linux version (I know a lot of people here use Debian, but Koha runs as well on other Linux platforms)
I am running Windows 7 and Debian 6 on a laptop, and Koha runs very well on it. That's my 2 cents.
If you are new to Linux, do not despair, there are quite a few helpful websites, like linuxquestions.org

Subject: [Koha] koha on windows 7 install instructions?
I'm having a tough time finding information about installing koha on windows. Installing apache, perl, and mysql on windows is no problem. The issues arise when trying to install koha. The a2enmod and a2ensite commands are difficult to translate into something meaninful for windows (since my knowledge what these commands do is sketchy).
I'm willing to document the process for windows installation and submit it to the docs team for any future windows people. I just need some help or pointers on getting this up and running.
Also, the install notes say:
ln -s /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha
which I guess is softlinking the .conf file to a file in the sites-available subdir of apache2. However, my windows intall of apache 2.2 has no subdirectory called sites-available.
Any help is super appreciated.
Thanks!
