- From the `installer` folder open `PowerToysSetup.sln` in Visual Studio, in the `Solutions Configuration` drop-down menu select `Release`, from the `Build` menu choose `Build Solution`.
- The resulting `PowerToysSetup.msi` installer will be available in the `installer\PowerToysSetup\x64\Release\` folder.
### .EXE Installer
- When the .MSI compiler is built, you can also build `PowerToysBootstrapper` solution (`installer\PowerToysBootstrapper\`), which is a .msi wrapper installer with additional features, such as silent installation and pre-installing `dotnet`.
#### Supported arguments:
- `--help` - shows the list of supported command-line arguments
- `--no_full_ui` - do not use MSI wizard dialog, use reduced progress bar instead
- `--no_start_pt` - do not start PowerToys after the installation is complete
- `--silent` - use completely silent installation
- `--skip_dotnet_install` - do not install dotnet, even if it's detected that it's not installed
