To my knowledge, people haven't run Cactus under Windows for a long time. I 
suggest to remove all the Windows bits and start from scratch, as you did.

Can you point us to more information (or maybe add a page to the Einstein 
Toolkit wiki <https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Main_Page>?) that 
explains what software needs to be installed to a basic Windows system before 
one can compile Cactus this way? If we want to support Windows, then it should 
be easy for others to follow your steps. I have a Windows desktop at work; if 
it's not too complicated, I may just try things there as well. In the end, we 
should then test Windows automatically and regularly.
