11/21/2019 Install Grub2 From Windows
I am trying to make a kernel in Visual C++ (Windows) using the tutorial here. What I am wondering is how to install GRUB from within Windows 7. If I have to download Puppy Linux or something I will, but I would prefer to install it from within Windows. In case you were wondering, I want to boot a PE EXE with a multiboot header that supports GRUB.

EasyBCD can automatically install a GRUB-based bootloader called NeoGrub. It'll be chainloaded from the Windows bootloader, and you can edit its configuration file from within Windows; it also supports NTFS so you can save the kernel to the NTFS partition and load it from there.
Disclosure: I wrote EasyBCD.

Another solution is Grub4DOS.
Despite the name it even works with Windows (XP) - propably with 7, too.

I had this problem: had Kubuntu installed, then installed Windows 7 (Pro x64), then Kubuntu disappeared from the boot menu.
My Solution:
Install EasyBCD, add GRUB2 to boot menu, reboot, enter *Ubuntu, do this:
Run Boot Repair.
Choose
Recommended repair .
Than again boot Windows and, using EasyBCD, remove GRUB2.

Another solution is to use Grub2Win that supports both EFI and BIOS loading on Windows 7-10/XP/Vista. Based on grub version 2.02 and give you a GUI to handle a boot.
