[Windmill-dev] Mikeal - Having some problems running Windmill in Windows

The program has downloaded correctly and has been compiled in CYGWIN.

The compiling creates folders and files correctly and looks like if
everything is perfect so far; but when I try to run windmill from the
command line of CYGWIN I receive errors.

#
$windmill
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/windmill", line 5, in (module)

..
..

IE_BINARY = os.path.join(os.environ['ProgramFiles'], 'Internet Explorer', '
iexplore.exe')
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/UserDict.py", line 22, in __getitem__ raise
KeyError(key)
KeyError: 'ProgramFiles'
#

While reading the instructions I remember coming across a warning about
compiling in the CYGWIN version of Python, I opted for MinGW through the
command line of Windows; but nevertheless, that came up erroneous as well.

Maybe I'm slipping somewhere and missing a very easy step.  Any help is
appreciated, thanks and hope to hear from you soon. =)
