More details about installing DNSCrypt...
...in Windows 2K/XP/Vista/7/8.
Specifically, as some of us install everything as Admin then go back to being an ordinary user, so we need to know which account to use, or how to make it a global install for all users.

Did you install the GUI? Better get rid of it.
Download the latest dnscrypt-proxy from http://download.dnscrypt.org/dnscrypt-proxy/ and extract it.
You will login as an admin once, then from a command prompt window:
dnscrypt-proxy.exe --install
That's it! If you want to configure more customization, proceed as described at http://dnscrypt.org/ or https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy/blob/master/README-WINDOWS.markdown

Yep, this is what I meant. You rarely find a Win2k version anyway anymore. One has to test it. There's a 75% chance that it works if it works with Windows XP. There's even a small chance of 25% that it works under 98SE and ME, although it can't be run as a service, just interactively.
And it works on XP, I can confirm it! :) XP has been released just one and a half year after 2000. -
I didn't actually mean that dnscrypt-proxy should deploy on W2K, it's just in my list of workable M$ solutions.
I totally understand jedisct1's comment about support for W2K, OTOH I only abandoned it early last year after the box itself developed senile dementia. So as nobody has W2K drivers, I had to migrate (I will never call it "upgrade") to W7. And of course, W2K never supported multiple cores...
I did find that things like .net and Visual Studio needed upgrading, but otherwise W2K was quite competent. But it's history now. (Quiet sobbing is heard...)
