The problem

Running Squid on Windows shouldn't be a side project.

Running Squid on Windows should not require manual compilation, Cygwin command-line setup, service scripting, or hand-editing configuration files. Most Windows administrators do not have time to maintain a Unix-style toolchain just to deploy a forward proxy.

The solution

A commercial, supported Windows distribution.

Squid Proxy Professional packages a Windows build of Squid with a native management console for installation, configuration, service control, logging, diagnostics, and licensing. Install it like any other Windows application and manage it from a familiar GUI.
