and you are free to help write documentation for others that follow
in your foot steps - this is how open source communities are run :)

did you try this?
http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/install/windows-details.html
i followed pretty much it word to word (except i downloaded the
prc-tools tar.gz manually) [not using install from internet]..

sure, there are problems - help us fix them.. its obvious here
that the documentation for setting up prc-tools isn't quite
enough for the "average" user... when you figure it out.. write
up a document for John to host on prc-tools website..

please dont make us give you a bib and a spoon too.
i believe we provide a lot of help (john and myself) to the prc-tools
and pilrc users.. but, when we put the info in your face over and over
again, you can probably understand that we start to ignore such
requests for help..
sure, we can be sarcastic at times [me specifically] - welcome :)
