Running Memcached on Windows
I was trying to run memcached server on windows as that is my current development OS. Unfortunately the memcached's windows port has given only source code for libevent ( a dependency) and it needs VC to compile :P. With obvious lack ( read: interest ) in VC tools, I set on a big google hunt for finding the windows build of libevent.
I was finally able to get some luck from this site. Thanks to them, I was able to get memcached running successfully.
I have attached the memcached ( 1.2.1 ) setup here
Sets to run the server
1) Unzip the folder to any directory
2) Within the folder, run memcached.exe -d install ( One time )
3) For
starting the server: memcached.exe -d start
stopping the server: memcached.exe -d stop
4) To uninstall the service, run memcached.exe -d uninstall
You can also run memcached.exe -h to find all the properties that can be configured.

When I was using Windows box for development, I used memcached out of the box. Danga's memcached (http://www.danga.com/memcached/) was what I used. You may also check out http://jehiah.cz/projects/memcached-win32/.
I had no problems running it this way. :-)
Shreeni,
As far as I remember, the main memcached project(http://www.danga.com/memcached/) does not support windows. When I tried to use the window's port (http://jehiah.cz/projects/memcached-win32/), I was stuck with the libevent issue and hence the google hunt :P Are you sure you got the windows port work out of the box ?
BTW, congrats on the new job! rock on...
