Well this is all a thing of the past due to some fine work from Kenneth Dalgleish who has created a Win32 port – Top Man ;-)

Installation

Download the memcache port from http://www.splinedancer.com/memcached-win32/

Extract the download to your filesystsm (say c:\memcached)

Create a service using the command : c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d install

Start the server using the command : c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d start (or using the services management console)

Thats it! by default it listens on port 11211

Rails 2.1 makes using memcache really easy and having this option on Windows is a real shot in the arm for Enterprises who are looking to host Rails apps on Windows.
