On Windows
----------
-If you're on Windows you'll need to make sure you have OpenSSL installed.
-There are `pre-compiled binaries`_ available. If your installation is in
-an unusual location set the ``LIB`` and ``INCLUDE`` environment variables
-to include the corresponding locations. For example:
+The wheel package on Windows is a statically linked build (as of 0.5) so all
+dependencies are included. Just run
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ pip install cryptography
+
+If you prefer to compile it yourself you'll need to have OpenSSL installed.
+There are `pre-compiled binaries`_ available. If your installation is in an
+unusual location set the ``LIB`` and ``INCLUDE`` environment variables to
+include the corresponding locations. For example:
.. code-block:: console
C:\> \path\to\vcvarsall.bat x86_amd64
- C:\> set LIB=C:\OpenSSL-1.0.1g-64bit\lib;%LIB%
- C:\> set INCLUDE=C:\OpenSSL-1.0.1g-64bit\include;%INCLUDE%
