-Instructions for Building VeraCrypt for Windows:
-------------------------------------------------
-
-1) Create an environment variable 'MSVC16_ROOT' pointing to the folder 'MSVC15'
-   extracted from the Visual C++ 1.52 self-extracting package.
-
-   Note: The 16-bit installer MSVC15\SETUP.EXE cannot be run on 64-bit Windows,
-   but it is actually not necessary to run it. You only need to extract the
-   folder 'MSVC15', which contains the 32-bit binaries required to build the
-   VeraCrypt Boot Loader.
-
-2) If you have installed the Windows Driver Development Kit in another
-   directory than '%SYSTEMDRIVE%\WinDDK', create an environment variable
-   'WINDDK_ROOT' pointing to the DDK installation directory.
-
-3) Open the solution file 'VeraCrypt.sln' in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
-
-4) Select 'All' as the active solution configuration and WIN32 as the active
-   platform.
-
-5) Build the solution.
-
-6) Select x64 as the active platform and build the solution again.
-
-7) Open the solution file 'VeraCrypt_vs2019.sln' in Microsoft Visual Studio 2019.
-
-8) Select 'All' as the active solution configuration and ARM64 as the active
-   platform.
-
-9) Build the solution.
-
-6) If successful, there should be newly built VeraCrypt binaries in the
-   'Release\Setup Files' folder.
