Current build instructions no not mention required preliminary steps before building the solution and don't say how to build the installer package - which is the ultimate goal of a build.

Being on XP at the moment, I cannot check the validity of build instructions for other branches. Maybe they can use this info as well.

Indeed, other branches can use this info as well.
