Hello Tar,

You are correct: we do not compile any utilities for the Windows OS.  It 
is possible to compile isPCR yourself on Windows using something like 
Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/).  If you choose to do that, you will 
need to download the Genome Browser source code:

http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/admin/jksrc.zip

and follow the build instructions in src/product/README.building.source 
(aslo available here: 
http://genome-source.cse.ucsc.edu/gitweb/?p=kent.git;a=blob;f=src/product/README.building.source;hb=HEAD).

Here is a previous discussion on this list pertaining to building isPcr 
on Cygwin that you might find helpful:
