Answer 1

Steps to install Memcached on Windows:

1. Download a stable version, in either 32-bit or 64-bit I have tested the 64-bit version.
2. Unzip it in some hard drive folder. For example C:\memcached
3. There will be memcached.exe file in the unzipped folder.
4. Open a command prompt (need to be opened as administrator).
5. Run c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d install

For start and stop run following command line

c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d start
