<p>We don't currently have Windows install instructions, just a link to the artifacts.</p>

<p>I was under the impression that the osm2pgsql binary can simply be started as long as the libraries in the same directory.</p>

<p>It can.</p>
<p>Installing is more complicated than just unzipping the artifact because there are assumptions about default locations for the style file.</p>
<p>I'm not sure what the answer here is, but don't know that the documentation changes here are a good way to do it.</p>
<p>Also, it removes the content about where to get the source if you want to install from it.</p>
