It is Visual C# (which is a free download). For the Windows instructions, let me know if there is anything that is confusing or could be clarified. To my knowledge, the instructions are accurate, and one doesn't need to know C# to execute these instructions. But, alas, yes, using modrex does currently require building from source... They are trying to keep up with the opensim head, which recently is like trying to shoot at a moving target (mainly due to refactoring..)
