Here's the documentation on the wiki:

And you could sign up for the factories mailing lists:

I haven't tested the windows installer, but it should include Python
and everything else that you need. Have you tried running the
installer?

Yes, of course I will try to help you. I'm also hoping to try the
installer that Brandon made. Oh, I just notice that it's broken with
the last Python version, so we will have to wait until it is fixed.

If you want to get your factory running without Brandon's installer,
use the "Advanced Way" on the bottom of
http://trac.browsershots.org/wiki/InstallFactoryWindows .

No, it is completely automatic.
