Glad to see you got it working.
The navigation stack won't work out of the box - it's got a few dependencies we haven't ported yet (porting is a bit painful, not only the usual cross platform bugs, but each package needs to implement all of the windows declspec macros).
It's not too hard and I'm looking forward to the day people start porting some of the ros stacks themselves (some early notes here), but for now, the winros builds are primarily intended as a way to link your linux robot to the windows world, or a windows based driver.
Ubuntu virtual machine sounds like the way to go for you.
