In a powershell window (press Windows-r, type powershell, press enter),

Make a place to keep hledger binaries, and add it to your PATH; this makes running hledger easier. You only need to do this once, not for every release:

mkdir -force $HOME\bin >$null
$ENV:PATH += ";"+$HOME+"\bin"
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)+";"+$HOME+"\bin", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)

Download and install the release binaries:

cd $HOME\bin
curl https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/releases/download/1.29.1/hledger-windows-x64.zip -OutFile hledger-windows-x64.zip
Expand-Archive hledger-windows-x64.zip -DestinationPath .
rm hledger-windows-x64.zip
cd $HOME
hledger --version           # should show the new version

And ensure a default journal file exists:

out-file -append -encoding ascii $HOME/.hledger.journal

Problems:

• Starting hledger/hledger-web by double-clicking their icon won't work; run them from a cmd or powershell window instead.

• click hledger-windows-x64.zip below
• choose Open with Windows Explorer, OK
• click Extract all files
• choose a destination folder - ideally one that appears in echo %PATH%, like C:\Windows (though that one will require administrator permission); otherwise, your home directory (C:\Users\YOURNAME)
• check "Show extracted files when complete"
• click Extract, wait for the destination folder to open
• find the hledger, hledger-web icons (if you extracted to \Windows, you'll need to scroll down)
• for each icon: double-click, uncheck "Always ask before opening this file", click Run
• close those Explorer windows
• open a command window (press Windows-r, type CMD, press enter)
• hledger --version should show the new version
• echo # >> .hledger.journal to ensure a default journal file exists. (Important: the doubled >> is needed to avoid overwriting existing data.)

Problems:

• Starting hledger by double-clicking its icon won't work because it needs arguments; run it from the command window instead.
• Starting hledger-web by double-clicking its icon may fail eg because Explorer's command window is too small;
  configure that to be larger, or run hledger-web from a command window instead.
• hledger or hledger-web may fail to run if there is not enough memory available.
