I've been following the tutorial at https://www.ethereum.org/greeter , but when it gets to the point of installing Solidity, it is apparently no longer maintained on chocolatey so that step doesn't work.
How should I go about installing Solidity?

If you're stuck at the step of getting solc to compile your solidity contracts:
Go here: https://github.com/ethereum/webthree-umbrella/releases/tag/v1.2.1 (Or to the newest release available)
Click on cpp-ethereum-1.2.1 Windows Installer
Install it
Verify you have solc available
Continue greeter hello world tutorial :-)
