Yes, Andrej Vodopivec built a Maxima installer for windows + ccl; see, for 
example:  
http://www.math.utexas.edu/pipermail/maxima/2011/024381.html

Two problems:

 (1) CCL uses the SSE2 instruction set. This will be a problem for older 
computers.
 (2) Last I tried, the 32 bit CCL has a bug that creates one test suite 
failure. 

I'd guess the CCL developers would fix (2) if we could isolate the 
problem. 
Problem (1) is harder--I've been know to use old computers.
