Has Anyone Been Successful in Streaming From Gstreamer to a Wowza Server in Windows?

I am unable to find the GstRTSPServer for windows.  I searched it some 
on google and I checked OSSBuilds but I was not able to find it.  Could 
you please provide with a link or some more information on how to get 
the rtsp server in Windows.

Thanks again,
William
