Dan,

Are you familiar with setting up cgi web services like MapServer?  It
should be similar in that you just copy the ogrwcts.exe and wctsclient.exe
executables to your cgi-bin directory.  Keep the notes about the PROJ_LIB
and GDAL_DATA environment variables in mind.  On windows the default locations
to search for stuff is different, and you will almost certainly have to
set these two enviroment variables (perhaps as system environment variables)
to point to where the supporting data files are.

Best regards,
