Alright. Firstly you will need to get Perl for Windows. The easiest way to
get it is ActivePerl.

http://www.activestate.com/store/download_file.aspx?binGUID=e5c71329-b7a6-4563-8199-e1483f751c4f


Click on the link above and you should be able to download it (hopefully).

Next, install ActivePerl. Then, download the conversion script from the link
below. If you need to convert data from API 0.4 to 0.5, you will need
04to05.pl

http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/conv05/

Put this script in the same directory (folder) as your osm data that you
want to convert. For example, I have a folder C:\OSM which contains all the
OSM data and programs. I put 04to05.pl into C:\OSM, and I should have the
OSM data (.osm) I want to convert in the same folder.

Next, click on Start, and Run. Type in cmd and a command prompt window
should show up. Go to the aforementioned directory by typing "cd C:\osm" (in
my example) without the quotes.

Cmd should now show this:
C:\osm>

Then you type in ths following, substituting (oldfilename) with the file
name of the old 0.4 data and (newfilename) with the new file name you want
and press enter:
perl 04to05.pl <(oldfilename).osm >(newfilename).osm

You should now see a new file (newfilename).osm in the said directory. Use
the newer version of JOSM to open this.

Should you not understand any of the step, let me know. Thanks.
