Sorry, it took a few days but I have bundled up an installation tutorial which ought to work in any situation:

I am not able to test 'em in anything but Win7 atm, but as far as I know it should work the same for Vista, 8 and 8.1 as well. If you find something not to work, please let me know.

I have it up and running on windows 8.1 x64
but i use litestep x32 because its much more stable then the x64 version.

After following the above link I find myself unsure whether or not to go with the 64-bit version or not.  I'm running Win8.1x64, 16g RAM, but not being terribly familiar with the LiteStep platform, I'm not really sure how much (if anything) I would 'lose' if I chose the apparently more-stable and better-supported 32 bit version.  Can you shed any light on this?

If this is your first ever install of LiteStep, you're in for a rough ride >.<
64-bit shell is STRONGLY suggested for 64-bit OS (else there's alot of trickery involved from the system's side to make it believe it is running on a 32-bit system).
However, there's no readily available 64-bit installers, and the selection of 64-bit modules is rather scarce.
