I've created a way to more easily to do this for B2G dektop on Mac
machines, and would love it of someone baked in Windows support:

Pull requests welcome!

I think it might be better to supply pre-compiled stuff for windows since many people don't have a full compilation environment setup and so that can be a tricky and time consuming route even if the scripts work well.
I have improved the solution for windows and put it up onto github https://github.com/sihorton/b2g-desktop-profile
All that is needed is to unzip the project to a profile directory and then run the install.bat, it will fix the missing dll and create a bat file to run b2g-desktop with the supplied pre-compiled profile.
Obviously this can come baked into the nightly for windows in the future, but until then this gives a very easy startup for windows.

Some ideas:
1) if the crash is related to a missing dll then run install.bat in the
profile directory you unzipped it will copy in the missing dll.
2) profile directory should be placed under the folder where you installed
the nightly desktop client.
3) running install.bat creates a file to run b2g.exe and provide it with
the profile directory.
See if one of those fixes it for you, if not then send details of your os,
and message given when it crashes so we can try to help more.

Hi Felipe
Sounds like you are doing exactly right. I have windows 7 64bit and got it
working on that. I guess you could try downloading an older nightly in case
something went wrong last night.
I get errors about missing settings that should be added to build.js but it
still started the app and displayed the phone ui.
Can you post the exact text or set of text you get to the mailing list
maybe someone can then have an idea what can be done to fix it. I am not
sure what the ensure db error means.

We found that the problem was caused by special charactures in the path that b2g was running from. The github repository has been updated to fix the issue and we now use relative paths in install.bat so it should not be an issue in the future.

It does not give me any other error than that...
What I tried right now, was to get the folder on github, instead of the zip
file...
Then it will run one time, when i run install.bat... Then it crashes on the
browser, then it won't run again until I do all of it again (it won't run
on b2g-profile.bat)..
It's somewhat strange...
Could you maybe tell me which version of the nighly desktop build you have
in there, so can try that same one...
Cheers,

Hi Maxime,
You can use the windows installer I built that includes b2g and gaia.
https://github.com/sihorton/b2g-desktop-profile-installer/blob/master/install-b2g.exe?raw=true
If you require a particular version of b2g then download it and extract
over the top of the files from the installer.

Hi Martijn,
I have not seen that error before. The installer is more than 20 meg. You
can try the following:
https://github.com/sihorton/b2g-desktop-profile-installer/blob/master/install-gaiaui.exe?raw=true
That will give you an installer for gaia only. So download b2g and extract
first then install gaia into the b2g directory.

Hi Simon,
I still get the same error with that link.
But I just downloaded a zip file from:
https://github.com/sihorton/b2g-desktop-profile-installer/zipball/master
In that zip file I can see the installer and that works fine. Thanks!

Ok good that works for you. I have not seen that error before so I will
look into it. I can host the installer on another platform if there is a
size limit on github.

I have updated the installer and it is available from https://github.com/downloads/sihorton/b2g-desktop-profile-installer/b2g-gaia-desktop.exe which should fix the blob error. There is also a portable version available from https://github.com/downloads/sihorton/b2g-desktop-profile-installer/b2g-portable.exe

Thank you for taking the time to test and package a working windows build for desktop. I've heard plenty requests on getting this working, so much appreciated!
Would it be too much trouble for you to add your zip and instructions to the https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gaia/Hacking#Running_B2G page? A section on Windows would be perfect, and it would help anyone that we are directing toward getting Windows B2G Desktop builds setup. If you're not comfortable editing the wiki, we'd be happy to do it for you. But it would make the most sense to hear it from you.
Thanks in advance!

I love the boot2gecko idea so wanted to make it as easy as possible for windows developers to contribute. I have added a section for windows users to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gaia/Hacking#Running_B2G page and added a link to the desktop builds section.
If anyone has opinions on exactly what to call the installer / start menu group and so on then send me a message. Currently the installers are called b2g-gaia-desktop and b2g-portable. Start menu group is called b2g-gaia-desktop. There is quite a lot of different names: firefox os, gaia, b2g, b2g-desktop so this might be confusing for totally new users.
