Setup support for the windows platform in GNUe Forms is also currently broken. However a 0.0.9 release will be available shortly which will add support for windows as well as clean up a few known issues in the code. We're basically wrapping things up for a stable 0.1.0 release to follow soon after 0.0.9.
