Scott,
I don't do Windows; haven't for more than a dozen years. However, it
doesn't look too hard.

Well, those of us on non-Microsoft systems are used to installing new
applications either from distribution-specific packages or by building and
installing from the source code. There are probably generic installation
instructions for XP, too.
If you go to the download section of the Web site you'll see this:
Precompiled Binaries For Windows
sqlite-3_6_16.zip
(246.32 KiB) A command-line program for accessing and
modifying SQLite databases. See the
documentation for additional information.
tclsqlite-3_6_16.zip
(314.99 KiB) Bindings for Tcl/Tk. You can import this
shared library into either tclsh or wish to
get SQLite database access from Tcl/Tk. See
the documentation for details.
sqlitedll-3_6_16.zip
(243.68 KiB) This is a DLL of the SQLite library without
the TCL bindings. The only external
dependency is MSVCRT.DLL.
sqlite3_analyzer-3.6.1.zip
(508.70 KiB) An analysis program for database files
compatible with SQLite version 3.6.1 and
later.
So I presume that you downloaded both sqlite-3_6_16.zip and
sqlitedll-3_6_16.zip. Yes?
Aren't there generic instructions for installing *.exe and *.dll files?

For stand-alone applications I suggest Python (without the 'g'); for
Web-based (or http server-based) applications I suggest Ruby on Rails.
