There are multiple paths you could go down, and if you run into too much
frustration on one of them it may pay to switch to another.

For example, the problem here is that the install.rb's default configdir
seems to be wrong for MS Windows.  You could trace down / report that as a
bug, or you could work around it by explicitly specifying the --configdir to
install.rb (or you could do both).  If getting past this you hit more
problems with install.rb, you will likely have similar choices.  If you find
install.rb isn't giving you the joy you seek, you could skip installation
and try running from source.

What would be ideal from my perspective would be if each hurdle you hit were
to generate a ticket tagged / marked to indicate it's MS Windows related.
Feel free to send up a flare if you get stuck on anything.  I'll try to be
as much help as I can, though that may not be as much as I'd like.
