A few questions:

What compiler version?

Can you successfully compile and run a simple hello world?

Have you tried following the windows installation instructions in 
the README?


FYI:

Tango can be build with dub, but - unless you are planning on 
using dub for building your projects that depend on Tango - then 
you are on your own as far as installation goes. I would 
recommend taking a look at code.dlang.org
