How to build XenCenter
----------------------

To build XenCenter, you need

* the source from xenadmin repository
* Visual Studio 2022
* .NET Framework 4.8

and also some libraries which we do not store in the source tree:

* CookComputing.XmlRpcV2.dll
* Newtonsoft.Json.dll
* DiscUtils.dll
* ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll
* log4net.dll

You can find the source code of these libraries (along with some patches) in
[dotnet-packages](https://github.com/xenserver/dotnet-packages) repository.

To run the [NUnit](http://www.nunit.org/) tests you will need the following libraries:

* nunit.framework.dll
* Moq.dll

which can be obtained from <http://www.nuget.org/>.

Note that the build script assumes that you have added MSBuild's location (usually
`C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\<edition>\MSBuild\Current\Bin`)
to your `PATH` environment variable.
