Installation instructions are available at http://opns.tk/openstack_install.pdf

The OpenStack Essex Compute Node can be found here (This includes various fixes, volume support, snapshot support, and a service based installer) - You must have Python 2.7.x (32-bit) installed first. http://opns.tk/openstack_compute.exe This will install the essex stable source with some backported changes to allow this to run as a service on windows. In the nova\tools\windows\msi_installer folder there is an example_nova.conf file you can use for the settings specific to Hyper-V Since this runs as a service and it is a bit different in windows, your nova.conf file needs to be put in nova\bin. If you have any issues, please report them to jordan@openstack.org or feel free to patch the installer and submit a pull request to the Punchy Code repo mentioned below.
