So I started my first build, went fairly smooth, just was confused in the beginning about what to download as the pre-requisites for windows. Little bit of reading and got that figured out.
 
  
The only other issue I had was even after updating to the Vista SDK, their appeared to be some vista related files missing. After googling the error message, I got a solution to add the following line into the .mozconfig file:

'''November 23rd, 08 - Sunday (LAB 7)'''

"ac_add_options --disable-vista-sdk-requirements"
