We regularly compile tor and bundle it separately for Windows in our Tor
Browser nightly builds, alpha builds and release builds.

For the nightlies see:

https://people.torproject.org/~linus/builds/

For recent alphas see:

https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser

(https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/6.5a2/tor-win32-0.2.8.5-rc.zip
is the one you got with the last alpha)

And the release version is directly linked to from our website (the
expert bundle.
