You were out of luck. I tried a windows install some months ago since I had the opportunity to use a window for some days (was a v7 I guess) and despite my complete ignorance of this system I managed to get godi installed in N steps: first cygwin, which I recalled was the first thing to install on windows, then some dependencies, then godi. I do not remember the details because it went quite smoothly. So, this is not that bad. Maybe you should give it another try, starting from cygwin?
