Just in case you hadn't seen it, Windows support will be ending with
the 5.2 version. OMERO 5.3 which is intended for release next month
has _not_ been tested on Windows. See
http://blog.openmicroscopy.org/tech-issues/future-plans/deployment/2016/03/22/windows-support/
for more information.

If you'd like to try using Docker or VirtualBox to run a Linux-image
on Windows, please let us know.

No. This generates the PostgreSQL script which will initialize your database.

Is Java set on the system PATH like the variables for Ice & Python
from https://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero5.2/sysadmins/windows/server-installation.html#environment-variables
?
