Although there's no official support for windows environment it seems that numerous people have been successful in getting this work.
I desparately trying too but without success.
All what I need now is working autocompletion for php files (omni-completion, keyword completion).
I'm running x64bit version of compiled Vim 74 (+python27, +python33) here
From same guy I downloaded YouCompleteMe compiled for windows here
I installed plugin as always with pathogen plugin. I've installed Python27 & Python33 (x64) and I've both placed in my PATH. (Also python27.dll in windows/System32/directory)
In this state. if I ran Vim, I was getting error:
"The ycmd server SHUT DOWN (restart with ...). Stder (last 30 lines)..."
on vim startup. In same time Error log said:
RuntimeError: Error importing ycm_core. Are you sure you have placed a version 3.2+ libclang.[so|dll|dylib] in folder "C:\Program Files\Vim\vimfiles\bundle\you-complete-me\python"?
So I provided libclang.dll in specific folder (x64bit version) although I was editing a php file (not c family file) so this isn't relevant. Is it?
OK so now I'm in situation where I still get error on startup:
"The ycmd server SHUT DOWN (restart with ...). Stder (last 30 lines)..."
but Error log has been changed, it says:
DEBUG - No global extra conf, not calling method YcmCorePreload

Full error: Module use of python27.dll conflicts with this version of Python.
What does it meen? I'm pretty sure that I've required version (Python 277 x64bit).
What can I do? Could someone help me who got this working on windows environment?
UPDATE:
@sooop's answer pushed me a little bit forward, it helped.
Problem was that in PATH I had in front of "c:\Python27" placed "c:\Python33". So it found first provided python version and quit searching for Py27. So I placed "c:\Python27" before "c:\Python33" and this message disappeared.
Unfortunately another error occured: Now error log says:
File "C:\Program Files\Vim\vimfiles\bundle\you-complete-me\python\ycm\server../..\ycm\server\handlers.py", line 23, in import ycm_core ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Unfortunately I do not know what to do at all as well.
SOLUTION
@sooop's answer solves both of the two last errors. YouCompleteMe plugin supports only Python27 (and Py26). And path to the "\Python27\python.exe" in %PATH% environment variable must be at the first position, in front of other python versions!
