You can also download any Sun free webserver for Windows . The below link has the other webservers list too.

All you need to do is install a windows version and run your JSP's  on it

Please tell us your java version ? For Tomcat 5.5  you need Java  1.5.
in the linux I've installed the following:
Apache 2.0.54
jdk-1_5_0_04
jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9 webserver
JK Connector jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2

please kindly let me know if we need to download other files thanks!!
I downloaded and installed the following:
Core:
Windows Executable (pgp, md5)

I can see in my systray an icons says apache tomcat. are we good to go? how do we test?

I haven't used the executable version. But I guess your ok. Do you have JDK 1.5  on your windows machine ?  Are you able to run Tomcat's examples ?
Are you able to browse to Tomcat's welcome page ?
how do we do that?
Go to Tomcat's root directory and read file called Running.txt  for instructions.
Start Tomcat and browse to  http://localhost:8080/  
http://localhost  returned page cannot be displayed.
thanks works like a charm, i forgot about the 8080. :-)
Do the examples run ?
yes it does, thanks!

1+1=2 success!
