Continuing with \l{#BOOTSTRAP-WINDOWS Bootstrapping on Windows}, if you have
already started an appropriate Visual Studio command prompt, then you can
continue using it. Otherwise, start the \"x64 Native Tools Command Prompt\" if
you are on 64-bit Windows or \"x86 Native Tools Command Prompt\" if you are on
32-bit. Also set the \c{PATH} environment variable:

\
> set PATH=C:\build2\bin;%PATH%
\

To build with MSVC you can either perform the following steps manually or, if
if after reviewing the steps you are happy with using the defaults, run the
\c{build-msvc.bat} batch file. It performs (and echoes) the same set of steps
as outline below but only allows you to customization the installation
directory (run \c{build-msvc.bat /?} for usage). You can also specify an
alternative package repository with the \c{BUILD2_REPO} environment variable.

For example, you could run this batch file (from the above-mentioned command
prompt) like this:

\
> .\build-msvc.bat
