Hi Phil,

I didn't follow these instructions for installing and running buildbot as 
windows slave.

Here's what I did:
1. Create a python virtualenv for buildbot
2. Activate the virtualenv
3. Install PyWin32 in the virtualenv
4. Install buildbot-slave in the virtualenv
5. Create a slave in the virtualenv
6. Deactivate the virtualenv
7. Install nssm
8. Configure nssm to launch the buildbot slave
9. Start the buildbot slave service


I manage all those steps with Saltstack.

Below is the Saltstack's sls file to manage my buildbot slaves. If you are 
not familiar with Saltstack, dive into their doc to understand how it works.

Enjoy!
