i have used thrift on windows.. i just have an exe and use that to generate client server stubs for java/ruby. im running on a 64bit windows but not sure what version the binary is. it doesn't really matter i think since it is generating cross language stubs and 64 bit windows can run 32 bit executables. are you facing any specific problems?
