Two links:
- http://www.miktex.org/ : THE LaTeX distribution for Windows. It has
everything you need, is easy to install and maintain and update :)) . The only
thing it doesn't do is make your coffee ;))) .
- http://www.winshell.de/ : my favourite GUI for LaTeX. It's not a WYSIWYG.
It's rather a plain text editor with syntax highlighting and buttons to call
all the programs you need to compile your sources and check the results :)) .
As for learning LaTeX, the distribution comes with the "Not-So-Short
Introduction to LaTeX" (once you've installed it, it is the PDF file at
\temxf\doc\guides\lshort-english\). It's exactly what you need to start using
LaTeX :) .

It takes a straight mind to create a twisted conlang.
