+This package contains precompiled binaries of CodeSynthesis XSD, a
+W3C XML Schema to C++ Data Binding compiler, built for Microsoft
+Windows. For more information about XSD visit:
+
+http://www.codesynthesis.com/products/xsd/
+
+This README file describes how to start using XSD in the Microsoft
+Windows environment with Visual Studio 2005 (8.0), Visual Studio
+2008 (9.0), and Visual Studio 2010 (10.0), Visual Studio 2012 (11.0),
+and Visual Studio 2013 (12.0).
+
+
+Setting up Visual Studio IDE
+============================
+
+Before you can start building examples or your applications that use XSD
+you need to set include, library and executable search paths in the Visual
+Studio IDE. To accomplish this perform the following steps. Here we assume
+that you have installed CodeSynthesis XSD into "C:\CodeSynthesis XSD". If
+you have it installed in a different place, you will need to adjust the
+paths shown below accordingly.
+
+Visual Studio 2005 (8.0) and Visual Studio 2008 (9.0)
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+ In the Visual Studio IDE, select "Tools"/"Options"/"Projects and
+ Solution"/"VC++ Directories".
+
+ Then, in the "Show directories for" field, select "Include files" and
+ create a new entry with the value "C:\CodeSynthesis XSD\include".
+
+ After that, in the "Show directories for" field, select "Library files"
+ and create a new entry with the value "C:\CodeSynthesis XSD\lib".
+
+ After that, in the "Show directories for" field, select "Executable files"
+ and create a new entry with the value "C:\CodeSynthesis XSD\bin". Make
+ sure it is the first line in the list of directories (use the "Up"
+ button to move the new entry up, if necessary).
+
+ If you are building the 64-bit version of your application, repeat the
+ above steps while selecting x64 in the "Platform" drop-down list in the
+ VC++ Directories dialog. Specify "C:\CodeSynthesis XSD\lib64" for the
+ "Library files" entry and specify both "C:\CodeSynthesis XSD\bin64" and
+ "C:\CodeSynthesis XSD\bin" for the "Executable files" entry with bin64
+ being the first line.
+
+Visual Studio 2010-2013 (10.0-12.0)
+-----------------------------------
+
+ 1. Open an existing or create a new C++ project (you can open one of
+ the example solutions that come with CodeSynthesis XSD).
+
+ 2. Open the Property Manager view by selecting "View"->"Property
+ Manager" (or "View"->"Other Windows"->"Property Manager") menu
+ action.
+
+ 3. Expand the property hierarchy for the project and find the
+ Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user property sheet.
+
+ 4. Right click on Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user and select the "Properties"
+ menu action.
+
+ 5. Select the VC++ Directories tab.
+
+ 6. Add the "C:\CodeSynthesis XSD\include" path to the "Include
+ Directories" field (the paths are separated by a semicolon).
+
+ 7. Add the "C:\CodeSynthesis XSD\lib" path to the "Library
+ Directories" field.
+
+ 8. Add the "C:\CodeSynthesis XSD\bin" path to the "Executable
+ Directories" field and make sure it is the first path in the
+ the list of directories.
+
+ 9. Click Ok to close the dialog and then click the Save button at the top
+ of the Property Manager view to save Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user.
+
+ If you are building the 64-bit version of your application, repeat
+ the above steps for the Microsoft.Cpp.x64.user property sheet. Enter
+ "C:\CodeSynthesis XSD\lib64" in the "Library Directories" field and
+ enter both "C:\CodeSynthesis XSD\bin64" and "C:\CodeSynthesis XSD\bin"
+ in the "Executable Directories" field with bin64 being the first path.
+
+ 10. Restart the Visual Studio IDE.
+
+
+Building Examples
+=================
+
+Now you are ready to build XSD examples. Simply open one of the solution
+files from the Start menu and select "Build".
+
+
+Using XSD in Your Projects
+==========================
+
+For various ways to integrate the XSD compiler with the Visual Studio IDE
+as well as other Visual Studio-specific topics, refer to the "Using XSD with
+Microsoft Visual Studio" Wiki page:
