Since the project is CMAKE focused we suggest building via +Visual Studio 2017 or our ms_build.bat script. In order to build the MSI, please install the [WiX Toolset](https://wixtoolset.org/) + +The project previously required OpenSSL to be installed. If you follow our build procedures, below, you will not need to install that dependency. Further, any MSI +distributable requires that systems install the [Visual Studio 2010 redistributables](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26999&irgwc=1&OCID=AID681541_aff_7593_312327&tduid=(ir__2dz2dkkuookfr3a22jsv1zgwwn2xmb9vrhvzwmdq00) Review comment: Microsoft is now leaning toward resolving the redistributable issue. This should be evaluated ( maybe later? ) to determine if we can rely on 2019 and simply avoid having them install 2010. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
