  The currently preferred method is using the free Visual C++ Toolkit 2008

  |msvc-2008-express|, the produced binary runs on most MS-Windows systems.  If

  you need the executable to run on Windows 98 or ME, use the 2003 one

+ 10. Installing after building from sources

+ ==========================================

+ 

+ [provided by Michael Soyka]

+ 

+ After you've built the Vim binaries as described above, you're ready to

+ install Vim on your system.  However, if you've obtained the Vim sources

+ using Mercurial or by downloading them as a unix tar file, you must first 

+ create a "vim73" directory.  If you instead downloaded the sources as

+ zip files, you can skip this setup as the zip archives already have the

+ correct directory structure.  

+ 

+   A.  Create a Vim "runtime" subdirectory named "vim73"

+   -----------------------------------------------------

+   If you obtained your Vim sources as zip files, you can skip this step.  

+   Otherwise, continue reading.

+ 

+   Go to the directory that contains the Vim "src" and "runtime"

+   directories and create a new subdirectory named "vim73".  

+   

+   Copy the "runtime" files into "vim73":

+      copy runtime\* vim73

+ 

+   B.  Copy the new binaries into the "vim73" directory

+   ----------------------------------------------------

+   Regardless of how you installed the Vim sources, you need to copy the

+   new binaries you created above into "vim73":

+ 

+      copy src\*.exe vim73

+      copy src\GvimExt\gvimext.dll vim73

+      copy src\xxd\xxd.exe vim73

+ 

+   C.  Move the "vim73" directory into the Vim installation subdirectory

+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------

+   Move the "vim73" subdirectory into the subdirectory where you want Vim

+   to be installed.  Typically, this subdirectory will be named "vim".  

+   If you already have a "vim73" subdirectory in "vim", delete it first

+   by running its unstal.exe program.  

+ 

+   D.  Install Vim

+   ---------------

+   "cd" to your Vim installation subdirectory "vim\vim73" and run the

+   "install.exe" program.  It will ask you a number of questions about

+   how you would like to have your Vim setup.  Among these are:

+   - You can tell it to write a "_vimrc" file with your preferences in the

+     parent directory.

+   - It can also install an "Edit with Vim" entry in the Windows Explorer

+     popup menu.

+   - You can have it create batch files, so that you can run Vim from the

+     console or in a shell.  You can select one of the directories in your

+     PATH or add the directory to PATH using the Windows Control Panel.  

+   - Create entries for Vim on the desktop and in the Start menu.

+ 

+ Happy Vimming!
