As explained earlier here and on http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows,
compiling of GnuCash on Microsoft Windows can be completed successfully
for quite some time now.

Eventually with the help of a lot of you here we were also able to
create the first binary packages that come with a executable installer.
According to our initial tests, these install an actually working copy
of GnuCash on Windows. We need a lot of feedback now about whether this
really works, or which parts are still broken. Please download this
totally experimental package from here:

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=192&package_id=5582

For known issues, see here: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows   When
reporting problems, either send a message here on gnucash-devel or add
text to the wiki page. (Please don't use bugzilla for windows issues, yet.)

Most importantly, the win32-GnuCash cannot read or write compressed
files. Your Unix/Linux datafile is most certainly gzip compressed, so
this cannot be read by the win32 GnuCash. In any case you shouldn't use
this win32 version for any of your real data, because it might still
mysteriously modify your data or make it disappear or whatever.

We are eagerly awaiting any feedback.
