I was hoping to not have to build LLVM myself, especially on Windows. Can anybody help me with the Windows installer? Failing that, I find the directions for how to compile on Windows hard to follow? Can I build using Cygwin?

I was not necessarily asking you to build, but just to check your installation folder and see whether you have "tools/msbuild/install.bat" there because I don't know if the Windows installer puts this there. However, if you want to build outside VS, I recommend mingw-w64. If you have any difficulties about the VS build process though, feel free to ask questions :-) Usually, to build LLVM on a Windows system from scratch (with VS installed), I would just install git for windows, which already installs a lot of important GNU tools, and ask to put everything in my path. Then I would install CMake and put this in my path. Afterwards, open a shell with VS paths, create a build folder, run CMake -G"Visual Studio ...<yourversion>" and then "msbuild <name of project>". A lot of people prefer to use ninja instead of msbuild, though, but you must install ninja and use CMake -GNinja instead.

I copied the x64 toolsets by hand and now when I try to compile a file, I get an error message saying that the build tools for llvm-2013 cannot be found. I guess that this is because the installer didn't correctly add the LLVM tools to $PATH. How can I correctly add the LLVM tools to the path?

Open the file toolset-vs2013.props and you'll understand what's happening and where the path is set. It tries to fetch the LLVM installation path from the Windows registry. Just fix this (maybe editing your registry or editing the .props file, whatever suits you best).
