-Building
---------------------------
-
-Rainmeter can be built using the free Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop
-or any paid version of VS2012 (e.g. Professional). Note some projects (such as the
-NowPlaying plugin) cannot be built with the free Express version.
-
-The free VS2012 Express is available for download from:
-  http://microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/visual-studio-express-for-windows-desktop
-
-VS2012 Update 2 is also required for Windows XP targeting support. It is available
-from:
-  http://microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads#d-visual-studio-2012-update
-
-After Visual Studio has been installed and updated, open Rainmeter.sln to build.
-
-
-Building the installer
---------------------------
-
-To build the full Rainmeter distribution, run Build.bat. If you receive "not found"
-errors, open Build.bat and change the variables at the top to match your system.
-
-To sign the installer and the Rainmeter executables, create a Certificate.bat file
-alongside Build.bat with the following contents:
-
-	set CERTFILE=/path/to/PFXcert.p12
-	set CERTKEY=certpassword
-
-
-Building old versions
---------------------------
-
-The Rainmeter GitHub repository does not contain the full source code history required
-to build the installer for versions prior to r1249. To obtain the full source from r1
-to r1248, use the old Google Code SVN repository located at:
-
-	http://rainmeter.googlecode.com/svn
-
-The build instructions above are applicable to r1130 - r1248. Build instructions for
-r27 - r1129 can be found in svn/wiki/.
-
-The language files for r963 - r1214 were in a separate repository (svn:externals),
-which is not available any longer. As a result, the language .dll's for those revisions
-cannot be built.
