The short version:

  1. Create a folder for the dig application (I used E:\apps\dig)
  2. Download the latest version of BIND from the Internet Systems Consortium website.
  3. Open the .zip archive and extract dig.* and *.dll into your application folder
  4. Add the application folder to your path
  5. Double-click vcredist_x86.exe to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (you may not need to do this if you're sure it's already installed)

All of these steps might need a little more explanation for an inexperienced person. But then if you’re an inexperienced person, why do you need dig? Happy to expand on any of the above steps if you wish - just add a comment here.
