Hi, sorry for the late answer. Yes, we want to have windows packages in the next 1-2 months. This is the github issue: [https://github.com/elastic/packetbeat/issues/163](https://github.com/elastic/packetbeat/issues/163)

You can actually run it today, but you have to compile it from source yourself.
