Comment (by nusenu):

 According to phoul, Jaruga is working on this here:
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuideRevisions

 eventually it should be located here:
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide/Windows

 a few comments:
 * the guide is missing with what user the steps need/should be performed
 * it is unusual to have program binaries in their own folder on the top
 level folder c:\ (instead of program files)
 * under what user is tor running? (please don't recommend users to run it
 with their ordinary account)
 * the current guide appears to require manual steps to start tor every
 time, shouldn't we aim for a service that starts at boot?

 I believe the actual thing to do here (mid-therm) would be to create an
 installer for Windows.
 The installer would ask the user a few simple questions:
 * do you want to run a relay? (non-exit)
  * if yes:
  * what ORPort do you want to use? (this needs to be reachable from the
 outside)
  * what contactInfo do you want to use for your relay? (this will be
 published)
  * do you want to start your relay after completing the installation?

 based on the answers
 * the binary is installed
 * the torrc configuration is generated automatically
 * the folders with proper permissions is setup
 * the tor service is created
 * tor is started


 this should also include a auto-updater otherwise we will end up with lots
 of outdated Windows based tor relays if tor relays on Windows gains
 traction

 It does not have a windows section and it is unlikely I will add one but
 if someone wants to add and maintain such a section, feel free.

 Re-assigning this ticket to the relay component.
 Does the tor relay guide have a windows section?
