You can get away without installing Linux. But you would need to use CygWin.

some solutions i can think about:

- If you have any linux machine in you LAN you can use it with windows with a ssh client (putty), transfer the files to the other machine using ssh, and run the program on them if you need, this is the easiest way, its how i do it in my home.

- you can use a live cd like Slax to run it, make a slackware package with umb-scheme, convert the package to a .img file, edit slax iso and put the image in it, burn the cd, and if everything went fine you can boot slax on your windows partition and use umb-scheme.

- install linux in another HDD or partition, boot linux, run the program on your windows HDD/partition.

- There is also ZipSlack, it pretty small and can be installed in FAT32 partitions, but i have never tested it.
