+Using OSGeo4W
+*************
+
+ZOO4W is the easiest way to use ZOO Kernel on Windows platforms. It is based on the use of OSGeo4W, and some third-party libs. 
+Please follow the steps bellow to install ZOO Kernel. Note that Win32 support for ZOO Kernel is still under development and 
+that some bugs may still appear.
+
+Install OSGeo4W
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Download the OSGeo4W installer from  http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/, and install it with all the dependencies needed by your 
+services (GDAL/OGR for example). The following libs are required: FastCGI, libxml, Python, cURL.
+
+Install other tools and libraries
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+After installing OSGeo4W on your platform you'll need more GNU tools and libraries. `This package <http://www.zoo-project.org/dl/tool-win32.zip>`__ 
+contains full dependencies required to compile on WIN32 platform and this one contains `full runtime dependencies to place <http://www.zoo-project.org/dl/zoo-runtime.zip>`__ 
+in your c:\OSGeo4W\bin.
+
+Download and Install ZOO Kernel
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Download the `binary version <http://www.zoo-project.org/dl/zoo_loader.cgi>`__  of the ZOO Kernel for WIN32 then place it in the 
+``C:\OSGeo4W\bin`` directory. Don't forget to place a ``main.cfg`` file in the same directory, you can use a modified copy of 
+`this file <http://www.zoo-project.org/trac/browser/trunk/zoo-kernel/main.cfg>`__.
+
+Deploy ZOO Services Providers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Your can use the binary version of the OGR Services Provider available from `here <http://www.zoo-project.org/dl/zoo-services-win32.zip>`__. 
+Then place the two libraries with their respective .zcfg files in your local ``C:\OSGeo4W\bin`` directory.
+
+Testing
+^^^^^^^
+
+Now you should be able to query your local ZOO Kernel. 
+
+Compiling Using Your Own Libraries
+**********************************
+
+The following steps are for use with the Microsoft Visual Studio compiler (and tested with MSVC 2008).
+
+1. Make sure the gnuwin32 tools ``bison.exe`` and ``flex.exe`` are found in your path.  You can download the GNUwin32 tools `here <http://www.zoo-project.org/dl/tool-win32.zip>`__.
+
+2. Modify the file ``zoo-project\zoo-kernel\nmake.opt`` to point to your local libraries.  You can find a modified nmake.opt that points to local libs `here <http://www.zoo-project.org/trac/attachment/ticket/27/nmake.opt>`__. 
+   You can also find a modified ``zoo-project\zoo-kernel\makefile.vc`` file `here <http://www.zoo-project.org/trac/attachment/ticket/27/makefile.vc>`__.
+   
+3. Execute:
+
+   ::
+   
+     nmake /f makefile.vc
+     
+4. A file ``zoo_loader.cgi`` should be created.  Note that if another file named ``zoo_loader.cgi.manifest`` is also created, you
+   will have to run another command:
+   
+   ::
+   
+     nmake /f makefile.vc embed-manifest
+     
+5. Copy the files ``zoo_loader.cgi`` and ``main.cfg`` into your cgi-bin directory.
+
+6. Using the command prompt, test the zoo-kernel by executing the following command:
+
+   ::
+   
+     D:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin> zoo_loader.cgi
+     
+   which should display a message such as:
+   
+   ::
+   
+     Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
+     Status: 200 OK
+     
+     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
+     <ows:ExceptionReport xmlns:ows="http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1 http://schemas.opengis.net/ows/1.1.0/owsExceptionReport.xsd" xml:lang="en-US" version="1.1.0">
+       <ows:Exception exceptionCode="MissingParameterValue">
+         <ows:ExceptionText>Parameter &lt;request&gt; was not specified</ows:ExceptionText>
+       </ows:Exception>
+     </ows:ExceptionReport>
+     
+7. Edit the file ``cgi-bin/main.cfg`` so that it contains values describing your WPS service.  An example of such 
+   a file running on Windows is:
+   
+   ::
+   
+     [main]
+     encoding = utf-8
+     version = 1.0.0
+     serverAddress = http://localhost/
+     lang = en-CA
+     tmpPath=/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/
+     tmpUrl = /ms_tmp/
+     
+     [identification]
+     title = The Zoo WPS Development Server
+     abstract = Development version of ZooWPS. See http://www.zoo-project.org
+     fees = None
+     accessConstraints = none
+     keywords = WPS,GIS,buffer
+     
+     [provider]
+     providerName=Gateway Geomatics
+     providerSite=http://www.gatewaygeomatics.com
+     individualName=Jeff McKenna
+     positionName=Director
+     role=Dev
+     adressDeliveryPoint=1101 Blue Rocks Road
+     addressCity=Lunenburg
+     addressAdministrativeArea=False
+     addressPostalCode=B0J 2C0
+     addressCountry=ca
+     addressElectronicMailAddress=info@gatewaygeomatics.com
+     phoneVoice=False
+     phoneFacsimile=False
+     
+8. Open a web browser window, and execute a GetCapababilites request on your WPS service: http://localhost/cgi-bin/zoo_loader.cgi?request=GetCapabilities&service=WPS
+
+   The response should be displayed in your browser, such as:
+   
+   ::
+   
+     <wps:Capabilities xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0 http://schemas.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0/wpsGetCapabilities_response.xsd" service="WPS" xml:lang="en-US" version="1.0.0">
+     <ows:ServiceIdentification>
+       <ows:Title>The Zoo WPS Development Server</ows:Title>
+       <ows:Abstract>
+         Development version of ZooWPS. See http://www.zoo-project.org
+       </ows:Abstract>
+       <ows:Keywords>
+         <ows:Keyword>WPS</ows:Keyword>
+         <ows:Keyword>GIS</ows:Keyword>
+         <ows:Keyword>buffer</ows:Keyword>
+       </ows:Keywords>
+       <ows:ServiceType>WPS</ows:ServiceType>
+       <ows:ServiceTypeVersion>1.0.0</ows:ServiceTypeVersion>
+       ...
+       
+Optionally Compile Individual Services
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+An example could be the ``OGR base-vect-ops`` provider in the ``zoo-project\zoo-services\ogr\base-vect-ops`` directory.  
+
+1. Edit the makefile.vc located in that directory, and execute:
+
+   ::
+   
+     nmake /f makefile.vc
+     
+   Inside that same directory, the file ``cgi-env\ogr_service.zo`` should be created.
+   
+2. Copy all of the files inside ``zoo-services\ogr\base-vect-ops\cgi-env`` into your cgi-bin directory
+
+3. Test this service provider through the following URL:
+
+   http://localhost/cgi-bin/zoo_loader.cgi?request=Execute&service=WPS&version=1.0.0&Identifier=Buffer&DataInputs=BufferDistance=1@datatype=interger;InputPolygon=Reference@xlink:href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zoo-project.org%3A8082%2Fgeoserver%2Fows%3FSERVICE%3DWFS%26REQUEST%3DGetFeature%26VERSION%3D1.0.0%26typename%3Dtopp%3Astates%26SRS%3DEPSG%3A4326%26FeatureID%3Dstates.15
+   
+   The response displayed in your browser should contain:
+   
+   ::
+   
+     <wps:ProcessSucceeded>Service "Buffer" run successfully.</wps:ProcessSucceeded>
