+<h2>Building WinMerge MSI Installer</h2>
+
+<p class="note">MSI installer is still in heavy development and is highly
+experimental. DO NOT use it to install WinMerge to production environment!
+</p>
+
+<h3>Needed programs:</h3>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <a href="http://wix.sourceforge.net/">Wix</a> version 3.0 or later.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0k6kkbsd.aspx">MSBuild</a>.
+ MSBuild is part of .NET 2.0 or later SDK.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Installer script:</h3>
+<p>The main installer script is in <code>Installer/WIX</code> folder:
+<code>WinMerge.wxs</code>. This file includes other needed files.</p>
+
+<h3>Folder structure and files needed:</h3>
+
+<p>These files are produced by compiling WinMerge, documentation etc, but
+that's not subject of this document, refer to <a href="readme-developers.html">readme-developers.html</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Copy or move the files into the following layout:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <code>Build/</code>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <code>expat</code>
+ <ul>
+ <li><code>libexpat.dll</code></li>
+ <li><code>libexpatw.dll</code></li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <code>Languages</code>
+ <ul>
+ <li><code>*.lang</code></li>

+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <code>Manual/htmlhelp</code>
+ <ul>
+ <li><code>WinMerge.chm</code></li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <code>MergeRelease/</code>
+ <ul>
+ <li><code>ShellExtension.dll</code></li>
+ <li><code>WinMerge.exe</code></li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <code>MergeUnicodeRelease/</code>

+ <ul>
+ <li><em>Copy the entire Plugins/dlls folder to here</em></li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Running WIX tools to create installer</h3>
+
+<p><code>WinMerge.wxs</code> (in <code>WIX</code> folder)
+is script used to create WinMerge MSI installer.</p> Other tools and IDEs can
+be used also. For example WixEdit or SharpDevelop.
+
+<h4>Building with MSBuild</h4>
+
+<p>Open the DOS prompt and CD to <code>Installer/WIX</code> -folder. Run
+command:
+<pre>
+ msbuild.exe WinMerge.wixproj
+</pre>
+or with platform parameter:
+<pre>
+ msbuild.exe WinMerge.wixproj /p:Platform=x86
+</pre>
+and to build 64-bit installer:
+<pre>
+ msbuild.exe WinMerge.wixproj /p:Platform=x64
+</pre>
+</p>
+
+<p>If the compile succeeds you have <code>WinMerge-[version]-Setup.exe</code> in
+folder <code>/Build</code>.
+
+<p><strong>Test installer!</strong></p>
