[impdev] Windows build issues

Sat Apr 16 02:37:42 PDT 2011

Thank you again for all your help.  I can't figure out what ISS is, 
much less where to get it and how to use it.  I have the NSIS 
Unicode installer making program installed.  And the build logs 
make it look like it is being used.

Not sure how I can tell which this is 1.3 or 1.4.  The comments on 
Onefangs fork *say* 1.4, but I see evidence the tree thinks it is 
1.3 in some places.

I can find msvc[rp]80.dll in many places, where can I find 
imprudence-bin.exe.config and Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest?  Though 
since the executeable has been renamed it actually looks for meta-
impy-bin.exe.config.  I found some similarly named files laying 
around in my build tree and copied / renamed them to what the build 
scripts seem to want.

I have attached a 1.5MB build log (I hope).

Chris
