There is no offical windows version, and gEDA isn't particularly tested
under Windows.

PCB and gerbv are available as Windows downloads from their respective
sourceforge pages:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pcb
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gerbv


gEDA _can_ be built for Windows (if you're familiar with mingw and/or
cross compiling), but hasn't received any extensive testing.

Currently, to use gEDA on Windows the best approach might be to build
the suite from source-code under Cygwin.
