**Step 1) Install UHD and GNU Radio from installers**

* Install GNU Radio win32 from the "installer package":http://files.ettus.com/binaries/gnuradio/latest

** In the installer wizard, choose to add uhd to the system path.

* Set the %25PYTHONPATH%25 environment variable for your gnuradio install, this is usually:

** c:\program files (x86)\gnuradio\lib\site-packages

** I highly recommend using "Rapid Environment Editor":http://www.rapidee.com/en/download

* From the UHD Windows installation instructions:

** download and install "MSVC Redistributable Package":http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=a7b7a05e-6de6-4d3a-a423-37bf0912db84

**Step 2) Install python dependencies**

All dependencies are available in .exe format, with the exception of the easy_install stuff.

**Note:** dependencies are optional, they can be installed on a need-to-use basis.
