Setting Up Machine to Build FireFox

Trying to get the build environment has been very frustrating, especially on VISTA. I don't know if it's VISTA, or if it's the school's internet, but just trying to get the SDK to install has been really frustrating. Whenever it tries to locate the installation file off of their site, it failed to locate it and then the setup.exe just freeze and crashes. After many attempts to figure out what's wrong and re-trying the installation, I finally gave up and asked Dave to see if he could shed some light on this matter. After a quick talk with him and Ted, we then realize that it MIGHT be due to being on the school network that's preventing the download to work properly. Hopefully this is the cause of it. Now I just have to wait to get home and try it again.

Installation Success~! Note to self, if download fails at school, try again somewhere else. Now I can finally try building FireFox and look more into my project.
