Thanks Kevin, I'm going through the process now on Win 10.
A few things to note: - In the Platform Prerequisites/cygwin it says to make sure mercurial package is installed. Later, under Common Prerequisites/Mercurial it says "you can also install Mercurial as a cygwin package". It's not clear then if it's needed or optional and if it replaces or complements the other hg toolings. - The link to Tortoise should be https://tortoisehg.bitbucket.io (not .org). - Might be trivial but I would say it's worth noting that all commands listed there are to be ran in cygwin. - The hg clone command probably needs to have a note added about the destination folder. The problems starts after navigating to the /rt directory and executing 'gradle tasks' or `gradle projects`: $ gradle tasks :buildSrc:generateGrammarSource A problem was found with the configuration of task ':buildSrc:generateGrammarSource'. Registering invalid inputs and outputs via TaskInputs and TaskOutputs methods has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 5.0. - Directory 'D:\rt\buildSrc\src\main\antlr' specified for property '$1' does not exist. :buildSrc:generateGrammarSource UP-TO-DATE :buildSrc:compileJava NO-SOURCE :buildSrc:compileGroovy UP-TO-DATE :buildSrc:processResources NO-SOURCE :buildSrc:classes UP-TO-DATE :buildSrc:jar UP-TO-DATE :buildSrc:assemble UP-TO-DATE :buildSrc:compileTestJava NO-SOURCE :buildSrc:compileTestGroovy NO-SOURCE :buildSrc:processTestResources NO-SOURCE :buildSrc:testClasses UP-TO-DATE :buildSrc:test NO-SOURCE :buildSrc:check UP-TO-DATE :buildSrc:build UP-TO-DATE FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * Where: Script 'D:\rt\buildSrc\win.gradle' line: 93 * What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating script. > FAIL: WINSDK_DIR not defined * Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace.

Also the output of the above commands in the instructions page seems out of date compared to the contents of the directory... or I messed up.
