What version of mgltools exact tell, and why do you think that it's not good to work in windows, explain please

For Linux which version of python and mgltools and ADT to install with (64 bit)

I've updated my answer with relevant details for Linux. You do not need to install mgltools separately for Windows. I didn't need to.

And please, do not add comments as answers. They exist for different purposes. I'm moving this to a comment now.

To know why Linux is better (there are a ton of reasons why Windows is the worst OS - among Win, OSX and Linux - for bioinformatics), read the answers in this post. Unless you're willing to install GnuWin32 tools and use them regularly, and use Powershell when required, Windows is pretty anti-command line, which makes it anti-automation. It is possible to bypass this, but not worth the effort.

You need to use Google. Follow the instructions here: http://autodock.scripps.edu/faqs-help/faq/how-do-i-install-autodock-on-linux-and-mac-os-x

You will need to download the autodock installation file (a tar.gz file) to get started.

Use Linux - dual boot or Ubuntu. Bioinformatics on Windows is a sin.

That being said, I run Win 7, and python 3.3.2 is installed on my machine. Following instruction from here works fine for me: http://autodock.scripps.edu/downloads/autodock-4-2-x-installation-on-windows/

For the GUI, you might have to install ADT.

Oh, and did I say - switch to Linux.
