Please read the FAQ entry titled "Q: How do I install devkitARM on Windows?" and then tell us what specifically you don't understand of that.

"It doesn't work" in what way? Which error message?

Or are you just not familiar with command-line applications?

No, put some effort into communicating with the people who can help you.

If you unzipped it and set the path, then it's already installed. Beyond that, you'll need to learn how to use the Windows command line. I recommend any book on DOS from your local library.

Nutshell version:

Extract all the files to the same folder
eg C:\DevkitArm
or C:\DevKitAdv
depending on the Dev Kit

Learn how to use DOS/Batch files.

If you really want to developing right out of the box, download HAM and VHAM (they should be bundled together). All you do is just run the install program, open up VHAM, and can immediately start making a GBA ROM. VHAM can also be configured in DevkitARM or DevkitAdvance if you want.
