How can I get run adb logcat

I installed android sdk on windows. How can I run the adb logcat with a GUI? I can only get the command version to run.

You could run DDMS which has a logcat GUI (with color and filtering).

I'm not sure how to start DDMS from Windows.

There's not much of a GUI to logcat. If you don't want to run it from the command line, you can also run it in eclipse. But even in eclipse, it's pretty similar to running from the command line but you get some colors and filters.

You can also make logcat a little easier on the eyes with a script like this one: http://jsharkey.org/blog/2009/04/22/modifying-the-android-logcat-stream-for-full-color-debugging/

Either run the ddms tool from your ANDROID-SDK\tools folder, or add the logcat view to eclipse via Window -> Show View -> Other -> Logcat.
