Hmm, "intuitive" should be the word. After installation, you run the 
executable image. The dialog helps you to configure your display server 
(for Windows, use the "multiple windows" mode), and you can save the 
config to an .xlaunch file, that you can use afterwards.

For optimal results, use the remote font server option in Xming to point 
to a VMS server with DECwindows Motif installed, and enable the font 
server on that VMS system. This will ensure that all VMS client apps use 
the familiar fonts.

The Help for Xming should explain it all...
