Re: Innosetup binaries for 21.5.32 and later

Thanks, Vin. Here is what I find.
1. Paren-highlighting does not work in the various flavors of 21.5.34 .
2. Paren-highlighting works fine in 21.5.29. 
Exactly where should I get the build instructions for native X86 binary ? Can these build instructions be ported to a more recent VS version ?
BTW, I just learned that "Visual Studio Community 2013" is a full-featured visual studio that is made available FREE by Microsoft starting Nov 2014.

Can the native binary build process be ported to VS Community 2013 ? I am willing to help, if I can be of any help. For example, if you can give me a set of reasonable build instructions, I can try to run through it and report any problems back to you to clean up the process.
Thanks,Biswajit

Biswajit -

Does http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/windows/testing/XEmacs_Setup_21.5.34.exe
(or http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/windows/testing/XEmacs_Setup_21.5-2015-05-18.exe)
work for you?

The instructions (based on the non-free Visual Studio 6 - what're you
staring at?  It was released in 1998!) work for me.  If someone wants
to update the instructions, patches will be reviewed and approved. :-)

Regards,
  Vin
