Added Windows-specific installation steps in commit fc096e1. The Installation section now has separate Linux and Windows sub-sections. The Windows steps reference the envmn_windows-gnu_x64.exe binary from the release and include instructions for renaming it and adding it to PATH via the Environment Variables dialog.
