Hello,
On Windows XP Pro, I was successful in creating a F14 Live USB using pendrivelinux.com's Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.3.4.exe.
Before using this tool, I did try Fedora's own liveusb-creator.exe -- but it complained that it could not find 7z and told me to extract everything -- but everything was extracted, and all the extracted executables were in my path: for example, in a dos window, from any directory, I could just type 7z, and 7z's help message would print.
In case it helps, I did not install liveusb-creator-3.10.0-setup.exe to the default location, viz., Program Files or some such place, but to c:\opt\LiveUSB Creator.

By the way, how would one do what liveusb-creator.exe does manually from a command line (cmd shell)? The wiki page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo has command line instructions for Linux, but not for Windows. If such instructions were available, I might not have had to use pendrivelinux.com's Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.3.4.exe.

Command line in Windows? Live CD creator is a GUI application.

Yes, instructions for creating a live CD from Windows cmd.exe perhaps by invoking the stuff in live cd creator's tools/ directory. (There are several Unix commands and tools that have been ported to Windows.)
Live CD creator is a GUI application.
I know, but my attempts to use Live CD creator exposed a bug in it (bugzilla id=680589), and the bug prevent its use. Had there been instructions for creating a live CD from the command line I could have tried those.

The Cygwin environment is a lifesaver on Windows for those used to a unix like OS. It might even have a package available that does live CD creation from that Unix like environment.

Use unetboootin downloaded at:
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
Allows you to create a Live USB of Live CD for > 50 unix versions (includes linux versions)
As well as creating them from an iso downloaded to your machine. Works like a charm.
