Instiki - free wiki software - is easy to set up and use. It's written in a programming language called Ruby, so you'll need to start by installing the Ruby engine. Here's how to get Instiki running on Windows.
Set up Ruby. Download Ruby from http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/
Look for the Ruby on Windows section and download the one-click installer. Run the installer with default settings
Set up Instiki, Download the instiki.zip file from http://instiki.org
Extract the package to a folder on your computer. rename that folder instiki and move it to the root of your C: drive.
Run Instiki. From Window's start menu, choose Run. Type cmd and click OK. Switch to the Instiki directory using the cd \instiki\ command.
Start the Instiki server by typing instiki.cmd and pressing Enter.
Once Instiki is installed and running, switch to a web browser and type your Instiki installation's address into the location bar.
It will be available at http://localhost:2500/
At end of installation fill in the name of your wiki (and a password if you wish).
Keep in mind your wiki will only be available when instiki.cmd is executed.
Alternatively, it can be run as a Windows service, but it will be booted each time and gives super administrator privileges. It's worth looking at though.
