Yes, I believe so.

In the start menu you should be able to type "command prompt" and then
you cd to the main directory of your plt installation and then "raco
planet fileinject" should work there.

I think that the version arguments inside the package-spec are
ignored. The code is in the install-package function in
collects/planet/resolver.rkt.
