This was tested on Windows 7 and is essentially a copy from another website.

  • Download the latest BIND windows binaries.

https://www.isc.org/downloads/file/bind-9-10-3-p4/?version=win-32-bit
or
https://www.isc.org/downloads/file/bind-9-10-3-p4/?version=win-64-bit

  • Unzip and run BINDInstall.exe
  • Check the box marked "Install Tools Only"
  • After installation is finished open system properties.
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System
  • Advanced System Settings
  • Environmental Variables
  • Highlight PATH and click "Edit..."
  • This is a semicolon separated list, so if something already exists go to the end of the line and add
;C:\Program Files\ISC BIND 9\bin

If the line is empty, remove the semicolon before the "C:\..."

  • Hit all the OKs until all the windows are gone.
  • Open a terminal and type
C:\Users\michael.mast>dig google.com

This will hopefully get you through until your Linux workstation is built.
