Is there a reason why you don't just use the windows installer? It's
available from sourceforge too?

If you want to install Csound binaries on Windows, use the Windows
installer from SourceForge
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/csound/files/csound5/csound5.12/Csound5.12.1-gnu-win32-d.exe/download).

The zip file is a source distribution, not a binary distribution.

Hope this helps,
Mike

Might there be an emerging reason to call it Csound5.12.1.src.zip?
