So does this mean that Windows XP support has been dropped from the build
environment? How am I then supposed to build installations for Windows XP?
Is it possible to get the source to your build environment, so that I can
build Windows XP installations? Or at least get some information on what
changes I have to make to build with vcredist_x86.exe?
