I tried to install Glue on a Windows machine but encountered some problems. Below is my step by step guide how I managed to install Glue successfully on Windows. Confirmed on both Windows XP and Windows 7.

1) Install Python, if not yet available. I decided to use Python 2.7.2, with this Windows installer: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/python-2.7.2.msi.
2) Install PIL, check http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ for a matching version. I used "PIL-1.1.7.win32-py2.7.‌exe".
3) Install Python's "easy_install". This wasn't available with the default Python installation. Use this installer instead: http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.7.exe.
4) Add Python's Scripts dir to your Path. Add ";C:\Python27\Scripts" to the end of the line.
5) Start cmd and type "easy_install glue".
