How to install minicom under Windows 7?

Minicom is the terminal program, that I am used to. How do I get it for Windows, without building it from source, satisfying complex dependencies etc?

Install "cygwin", then minicom is available as a selectable package during installation.

If you're willing to boot from a CD or USB, you can try SystemRescueCd from - it ships with minicom and lrzsz which should meet most serial terminal needs. This is definitely not a "Windows minicom", but other than PuTTY or TeraTerm - it may be the next best thing?
