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 repository.

To run the NUnit 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.
