Unlike windows applications you do not need to install glpk. If you
have glpsol.exe, you can use it from the command-line. Choose
'Start/Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt' and run glpsol.exe.

I would recommend you to use glpsol in the following way.

1. Copy example model plan.mod from glpk/examples to the directory
   containing glpsol.exe.

2. Create file go.bat in the same directory and add to it the
   following line with Notepad (right click go.bat and then choose
   'Edit'):

      glpsol.exe -m plan.mod -o out.txt --log log.txt

3. Run go.bat by double-clicking it.

4. Open file out.txt. It is the solution obtained by the solver.
