Making Diana installer for Windows includes three steps:
 * Configuring Linux Environment in Windows.
 * Compiling sources in MinGW environment for Windows.
 * Making installer.

== Configuring Linux Environment in Windows ==
Install MinGW. (mingw-runtime, w32api, GCC, binutils).
There is an installer executable for easy installation this components.[[BR]]
Install msys.
All links and guides for listed packages installation can be found at [http://www.mingw.org][[BR]]  
Update gcc to 4.4.0 or later [http://gcc.gnu.org/]
(version 3.x.x that was in standard mingw installation but didn't work properly). 

== Compiling sources in MinGW environment for Windows ==
Download all Windows version of packages required for compiling Diana, and compile/install them. 
(I installed following components: xerces, swig, python, blas, lapack, cppunit, sundials, ufsparse.) 
I recommend to install all in C:\WinDiana.
