Hi,
I downloaded btcd 12.0 and btcwallet 0.7 onto my windows 7 machine. Now, I have a working btcd window, but NO free standing decred wallet. Can somebody direct me to what I need to get a working wallet up and running on my machine.
thanks,
Rick

There is only a testnet wallet available. You can find download details in this announcement link from this post by _ingso, but he says to run it in a VM. That announcement link leads to a forum post which gives the github download links to the wallet. I can't find any link to it in the OP, but that might be because it's only an early testnet wallet.
Any ETA for testnet launch and daemon sources? I can't read whole thread, no info on OP.
Testnet is live. You can read the announcement
here. OP will be updated now. All testnet releases are in signed binary form right now - so run in a VM for the security conscious. All source code will be made free and open-source close to the launch of mainnet. As stated elsewhere, but repeated here for visibility (things do get buried), mainnet will be launched 1 week from testnet - so on Wednesday, February 3rd, 2016. This of course depends on testnet and if no serious bugs are found, the schedule will stick. More information will be posted as it comes in. I'll make sure to update people on all the platforms.
