Search the forum. You need to have installed Visual Studio .NET to get the C++ compiler needed.

Yes, but you run out of resources fairly fast. Processing nodes are logical, unrelated to the number of CPUs. However one controlling process plus up to one player process per stage is generated for each processing node. So there can be a lot of processes competing for that one CPU.

Most people running parallel jobs on Windows are doing it for training, or evaluation or off-site development. Most parallel production systems are on Unix. It helps to define two nodes in your test/dev environment on Windows so your unit testing includes partition testing.

Windows is no different from UNIX in this regard. The configuration file determines absolutely the maximum number of processing nodes.
