Unfortunately, the INDI Server for Windows has been abandoned by its author, and hasn't been updated in 2 years.

KStars/Ekos is meant to use INDI (or INDIGO) drivers, not ASCOM drivers. If you want to use KStars/Ekos on Windows, you have a couple options:

1. Install Ubuntu into a virtual machine in Windows, and add the KStars PPA, and install INDI and KStars. You would need to enable USB passthrough in the VM. People have had varying levels of success with this.

or

2. Get a Raspberry Pi (they are cheap), mount it on the scope, install just INDI on it. Then KStars/Ekos will run on your Windows machine, and connect over the network to the INDI drivers on the Raspberry Pi. Many people go this route, including myself.

I hope this helps.
