Install memcached

Download the Memcached Win32 library here: http://code.jellycan.com/memcached. Just get the Win32 binary (direct link). Extract the downloaded archive file in a directory (e.g. c:\memcached). There should be a memcached.exe in there.
Run a command prompt as an administrator. Some info on how to do that here.
Install memcached as a service. Go to the memcached directory, type and run:
```
memcached.exe -d install
```
If you get an error saying “MSVCP71.dll is missing”, see this page for a solution.
Start the memcached service by running:
```
memcached.exe -d start
```
You can verify if memcached is running by executing this in the command line:
```
wmic process get description, executablepath | findstr memcached.exe
```
You should see a result list showing memcached.exe and its full path.
