Install Memcached on Windows 7

To install Memcached on Windows 7 you need administrative rights. Grab your copy of Memcached for Windows (I got it from here, so I will explain this one). Now follow the steps below:

1. Download and unzip Memcached binaries.
2. Press the Win key, type cmd, press Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
3. Select yes from elevation prompt.
4. A command window will open with administrative rights.
5. Go to Memcached folder (mine is c:\memcached\)
6. Type and run [ c:\>memcached -d install ], this will install Memcached as service.
7. Now start the service with [ c:\>memcached -d start ]
8. FIN

Now Memcached is installed and running.

Enjoy!!
