This page gives general directions on how to download and install ROS on windows: http://wiki.ros.org/win_ros

As far as I'm aware, there is no single executable or installer that you can download and run.

ros is not supported on windows. I would recommend using a virtual machine, such as virtualbox, that runs ubuntu and install ros there.

If you are running Windows 10, try this: http://wiki.ros.org/Installation/Windows

you can download virtualbox here: https://www.virtualbox.org You will want to download the ubuntu iso from their website ( www.ubuntu.com ) right now, you would probably want 12.04 as ROS Indigo isn't released yet.

http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Ubuntu... here is a tutorial on how to create a virtual machine and install ubuntu on it. After you have installed ubuntu, go the the main ros website and follow the installation guide for ubuntu (it is much more straight forward than the windows instructions) and enjoy!
