In particular, set up PATH and KDEDIRS from "Summary of Steps" and 
follow "Post-install steps".

Just run the application you want.  As "Status" says, latest 4.00.80 
packages are pretty smart about starting dbus-daemon.exe, klauncher.exe, 
kioslave.exe and kded4.exe as needed.

Welcome to early release software 8-)  Read the "Status" section, also 
the talk page (click the Discussion tab) has various users' feedback on 
individual programs, you can add your own.

Maybe kdewin-installer should link to 
http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Projects/KDE_on_Windows/Installation 
?
