River5 on Windows

As you know, I’m a big fan of Dave Winer and his River of News aggregators. His recent River5 is particularly nice.

It has been running for months without issue. In fact, it’s more reliable than my CloudAtCost rented server ever was.)

I’ve already posted about installing on a CloudAtCost server running Ubuntu. But it seems some folks are running into difficulty installing on Windows. It’s easy and works like a dream. Here’s how.
