I did this a couple fo years back for my partner (she was on Windows 7; she'd used Kile a little on my Linux machine and liked it). As Bastiaan said, MikTeX was the solution - I don't remember the details, but I think we just did a fairly complete install* of MikTeX and then (possibly) had to point Kile to the relevant files in Kile's configuration dialogs. It wasn't perfect - line returns got inserted (or removed?) in the text on save (Windows thing, I guess) though not in the generated PDF output so it wasn't a big deal - but it worked well enough for her to complete her 200+ page PhD, illustration-heavy, thesis with minimal pain. We never got live previews working. She used jabref as the BibTeX manager rather than KBiBTeX. I think we had installation issues with KBibTeX, but I'm not sure. Was a long time ago so might be better now and I personally much prefer KBibTeX. Good luck! Stu * I think we first tried installing particular components, but kept finding bits we needed and had missed, so in the end ticked just about everything.
