How to install Solidity Compiler on Windows?

in Solidity
I have tried using "cinst -pre solC-stable" as described in official tutorial but I get following error 
I:\Windows\system32>cinst -pre solC-stable
Chocolatey v0.9.9.8
Installing the following packages:
solC-stable
By installing you accept licenses for the packages.
solC-stable not installed. The package was not found with the source(s) listed.
 If you specified a particular version and are receiving this message, it is possible that the pac
kage name exists but the version does not.
 Version: ""
 Source(s): "https://chocolatey.org/api/v2/"

Chocolatey installed 0/1 package(s). 1 package(s) failed.
 See the log for details (G:\Installed\Chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log).
Failures:
 - solC-stable
Instructions also say that it should come with GETH but when I use "eth.getCompilers()" I get empty string instead of ['Solidity'].

    I have installed SOLC using https://build.ethdev.com/builders/Windows C++ master branch but I would still like to know how to install it using chocolatey.

    Also every time I connect to Private Network I have to reconnect GETH with SOLC using or else I get [""] 
    geth --genesis G:\Temp\Ethereum\genesis_block2.json --datadir G:\Temp\Ethereum\datadir --networkid 123 --nodiscover --maxpeers 0 console
> admin.setSolc("I:/Installed/Programming/Ethereum 0.9.41/Release/solc.exe");
> eth.getCompilers();	
["Solidity"]

    --solc "PATH-TO\Ethereum 0.9.41\Release\solc.exe"
    Add this to your geth startup command you list above but make sure you set your path properly

    Thanks. But is it possible to put that in some configuration file so that I don't have to relink GET with SOLC every time I connect to network? Or in Environment Variable?

    You have to install ETH from
    https://build.ethdev.com/builds/Windows C++ master branch/Ethereum-win64-latest.exe

    Then in isntallation directory you will see that you have solc.exe in directory
    I:\Installed\Programming\Ethereum 0.9.41\Release

    Then you link GETH to SOLC either through GETH command line

    geth --datadir G:\Temp\Ethereum\datadir --solc "I:/Installed/Programming/Ethereum 0.9.41/Release/solc.exe" 2>> G:\Temp\Ethereum\my.log console

    or in GETH console

    > admin.setSolc("I:/Installed/Programming/Ethereum 0.9.41/Release/solc.exe");

    For some reason the install location that you mention does not have the most up to date version compared to other places. I am quite confused by the different releases but https://github.com/ethereum/webthree-umbrella/releases has an installer for Ethereum 1.0.1 while https://build.ethdev.com/builds/Windows C++ master branch/Ethereum-win64-latest.exe only installs 0.9.41.

    I am trying to create the greeter application/contract. I have linked solc.exe with geth:
    > admin.setSolc("C:/Ethereum/Ethereum 0.9.41/Release/solc.exe")
    I0112 20:30:57.976736 9576 solidity.go:114] solc, the solidity compiler commandline interface
    Version: 0.1.1-ed7a8a35/Release-Windows/msvc/JIT

    When I run eth.getCompilers() I still only get:
    ["Solididty"]
    which is what I get before running the admin.setSolc command.

    When I try to compile the greeterSource per the example I get the error:

    solc: no build results found
    at InvalidResponse (:-81662:-63)
    at send (:-156322:-63)
    at solidity (:-133322:-63)
    at :1:23

    Has anyone seen this error? Shouldn't I get something different the ["Solididty"] when I list the compilers?
    Cheers!

    Im also having the same issue with solc and geth I cant even get ["Solididty"]
    I do get
    "solc, the solidity compiler commandline interface\r\nCersion: 0.1.1-cb61d09d/Release-Windows/msvc/JIT\R\n\npath: C:\\Ethereum 0.9.41\\Release\\solc.exe" in green then just updates blocks.
