PLEASE NOTE: Native Nginx Windows builds are available at http://nginx.net
(My announcement was here: Nginx for Windows Native Builds.)
The last available Nginx for Windows build that I created using Cygwin was Nginx for Windows 0.7.50, the full page of my builds are located here: Nginx For Windows. Updated September 29, 2009.
Based on the success of lighttpd for Windows, I decided to see if I could build another lightweight Apache web server alternative on Windows: nginx. It was possible, so I created a nice, easy-to-use setup package to let anyone try it out. It should not be used in a production environment and I will probably not be able to help if you run into problems, but it works for me, and may help your development efforts in some way. Think of it as a proof or concept and use it at your own risk!
Things to know about this release:
This setup package was created on Windows XP Professional and has been tested on Windows XP and 2000.
Windows Vista has NOT been tested, but may work on 32-bit versions.
I compiled nginx with Cygwin. If you have the cygwin1.dll on your system, you may have a conflict that won’t let you run nginx.
Download nginx 0.6.29 for win32 here

ze best !! spasibo :)
thanks
Thanks man, i will be interesting if this can run on the windows mobile huh??
Muhammad: it might work, but a re-compile may be needed first.
I tried it on Vista Ultimate 32 bit, and it didn’t work. I’d love to hear from someone who’s managed to run a ruby on rails app on windows using nginx.
