I am having issues and can not find any steps on how to install Plaso on a windows image.  I have used github, and it is not clear on how to install it and then use it.  I use in in Fedora and SIFT all the time.  

Can someone please give me some guidance on how to get Plaso installed on windows and then run the l2t from a windows machine?  Thanks.

Christy,
On the github site, go to the releases link and download the zip file.  Then just extract it to wherever you want on the Windows machine and run it like you normally do.

thanks sir,
i think it works now.
Actually i try to get timeline by using psort and log2timeline.I just type this command Log2timeline.exe timeline.plaso c:\test   for a simple directory "test" in  c: drive and it executed normal.
Now, i want to formulate my output by using psort tools which show some information like date and time of creation of files or directory.

thanks
