Look at the "README.win32" link on that page.  Listed near the top
of that text file are two places to get CD's that will install onto
Windows for you fairly painlessly.  One of those sites also has a
network-install option.

The manual install method is described in that same README.win32
file.  It also works but is a bit involved.
