Yes, Andrej Vodopivec built a Maxima installer for windows + ccl; see, for
example:

Two problems:
(1) CCL uses the SSE2 instruction set. This will be a problem for older
computers.
(2) Last I tried, the 32 bit CCL has a bug that creates one test suite
failure.
I'd guess the CCL developers would fix (2) if we could isolate the
problem.
Problem (1) is harder--I've been know to use old computers.
