Just get the setup file for the Plucker desktop. The links to Plucker desktop are located just underneath the Distiller on the Plucker download page:

what do i do with the python distiller (for plucker 1.8) folder?
Does it need to be in a folder near the windows plucker desktop (which is for plucker 1.6.2)? Or maybe I am confused... is the plucker desktop for windows the same as the Python distiller?

Why don't you just download the Plucker Desktop which includes the distiller, parser, Palm program and all the necessary software for everything to work (as described in my previous posting which is a copy of what's on the page). Run the plucker_desktop_setup_1.6.2.0.exe and it will install everything on your computer.

And just delete all that distiller folder that you've put on your hard drive so you won't get more confused.

Actually, better yet, read the documentation and it will explain how it works, etc.
