I'd greatly appreciate hearing about your experiences. I was lost 
when I tried it on Windows, but then I don't have any experience 
developing on Windows (that was a big part of why I moved to 
Linux). Technically, the gretl dependency isn't needed, but it's 
got such a nice interface to the matrix algebra and regression 
routines.

You might be able to download the zip here:

and then install from a USB disk using install_local.
