and you can start using that directly.

1) download the file using above link (its in microsoft site so no need to worry)

Usage whois domainname (whoisserver)

Domainname can be either a DNS name (e.g. www.sysinternals.com) or IP address (e.g. 66.193.254.46).

whoisserver is optional but you need to supply a whoisserver if the utility gives error as there are lot of tlds are exist its not easy task to them to list all whois servers.
