The EKI hw interface depends on ros_control. I'm not sure whether that already supports Windows. It might be as simple as compiler flags not being correctly set for Windows use (in kuka_experimental packages), but I don't know.

Perhaps @ooeygui can say something about ros_control on Windows in general.

If he doesn't see this notification, perhaps an issue on their issue tracker could help.

General comment: we typically use this driver on systems with either real-time kernels or with suitably high priorities. That's on Linux systems. You'll have to make sure not to treat this as "just another node", as otherwise I would expect things to not work smoothly.
