no.  The problem is that the kde installation does not install 
mingwm10.dll by the installer.

I have installed the kdeedu package 4.0.63 for msvc compilers. It 
contains kstars.exe

C:\Programme\a\bin>type c:\Programme\a\manifest\kdeedu-msvc-4.0.63-bin.mft
....
dba6c916f4e92e925df3b738e272fa4f bin/kstars.exe
.....

If you have installed the kdeedu package the file 
c:\KDE\manifest\kdeedu-mingw-4.0.63-bin.mft should be on your computer 
and should contain a line with the term 'bin/kstars.exe'. If not, then 
the mingw package has a problem.
