There was a recent post to this group that gave a few steps in installing on Windows. Perhaps that would be helpful.
https://www.mail-archive.com/umls-similarity@yahoogroups.com/msg00303.html Also, the following thread is from a Windows user who had exactly the same error. https://www.mail-archive.com/umls-similarity@yahoogroups.com/msg00122.html In the first case the user set these parameters in the my.ini file in Windows, and in the second case it involved the installation of the DBI module. But, you might need to provide a different value for --socket - the default is based on Linux and won't work on Windows. I'm not sure if that is the cause of your problem, but it would be something to look at. I would also check and make sure the DBI module was installed correctly, it seems like problems with that not installing can cause this particular error. Let us know how things go.
