Toolchain for Windows Installer

Is this Windows toolchain auto builder still a recommended way of installing? Any bugs that I should know about?

I just want to get started building locally but I’m not sure which instruction set will get me there with the least frustration.

I see the manual way here: [Toolchain] Windows

If anybody has taken both paths on a windows 8 machine please let me know which direction you would go if you had to start over gain.

Thanks!
