Setting Google's protobuf environment for java in windows 64bit

I have spend 2 hours to search how I can setup the protobuf in windows for java. I really tied by searching and didn't find any way. Some say download the binary protoc.exe from https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases and some say download the source code then generate the binary.

I stopped my self by searching after reading about each page related to this from first google search. But still didn't find a way to solve it. There is no protoc.exe file in google release page and I don't know how I can create it because I don't have good experience in C++ ( Just know the basics ).

So I posted the question here to get help. Please let me know how I can download protoc.exe file. If not then how I can create it? I just downloaded protobuf-java-3.4.1.zip from google release page.

You can find the precompiled binary on the 3.4.0 release.

The archive to download for windows is protoc-3.4.0-win32.zip.

The 3.4.1 release contains only minor bugfixes, so they probably didn't bother to create the binary for it.
