upvoted_answer: First go to https://github.com/IDPF/epubcheck/releases and download the last version of EpubCheck as zip file. Unzip the folder.
  
  Be sure that you have Java Runtime (1.5 or above) installed, if not go to http://www.java.com to donwload.
  
  Check if the Path variable is set to the folder where java.exe was installed. If not, go to  Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings, tab 'Advanced'. Click on 'Environment Variables...'. Then look for 'Path' on System Variables, click on 'Edit'. To the end of 'Variable Value', add a semicolon and the path to the folder where java.exe was installed.
  
  Put the ePub file in the folder of EpubCheck.
  
  In your console (can be the command prompt cmd), enter cd [path to the folder unziped of epubcheck]. Then run java -jar epubcheck-x.x.x.jar file.epub, where x.x.x is the version of the EpubCheck and file.epub is the ePub file.
  
  The console should print the errors and warnings related to your ePub file.
