I am not sure on which state these slaves were but want to verify bug 772989.

I believe the only steps that you need is to:
* adjust the host name
* add the staging keys
* install VS2012 (explained below)

To install VS2012 you have to do this:
* Download VS Professional "Product Layout File" [1] (this is a small file)
* The executable only asks for a directory to download the whole thing to. In my case I put everything on C:\Tools\VS12_RC

* at this point you can use this slave as a network source
** share C:\Tools\VS12_RC
*** "Turn off password protected sharing"

* From the slave you want this installed to:
** run this "\\slave_name\VS12_RC\vs_professional.exe /quiet /restart"

Once these are setup I would like them to be attached to WINNT 5.2 elm builder [2] and try to see if we hit bug 772989.

I installed the latest VS2012 unto these slaves (unlike the other ones which have VS2012 RC installed).
