Tesseract installation in windows

I am currently working on optimal character recognition project using python 2.7,open computer vision in windows.To accomplish this task i came to know that it can be done by using tesseract (software).But, it cannot be installed on windows. I searched a lot but i could not get the solution. Can any one tell me is there any way of installing it on windows ?or can it be done without using it?
