I'm hopeless at this, aren't I? Sad
The short and not very polite answer is, pretty much. But the stick is meant as a learning tool; you're now being forced to learn some new things.

Please note a couple posts up where it's said:
The tar.bz file is for building it yourself (on raspi usually). You would need the zip file on the first page of the thread. Then do as sidehack has said and copy the zlib.dll file from the standard cgminer (in the mining software section of the forum). Copy that over to the gekko version, run zadig to change the drivers on the cp2102 uart controller to winusb, then run the bat file.


This will solve about half your problems.

The other half are the "./" at the start of your command line in the batch file - that's a linux-specific thing (telling the command prompt to look for the program in the current folder instead of searching system-default paths) and isn't necessary for Windows.
