The build or install steps could result in an error that says a compiler is needed. If this happens and you are using Python 2.6 or Python 2.7, it is a packaging bug that should be reported to the tahoe-dev list. If you are using a different version of Python or want to compile the C/C++ components yourself, install the MinGW C/C++ compiler as follows (this only works for 32-bit Windows):
