Hey everyone, I'm just starting out with compiling in C++. I could really use some help making a Windows installer for the Bitcoin source code. I'm using Visual Studio 2022 for Windows. I executed: cmake -B build preset vs2022-static Then I did: cmake build build config Release Everything went smoothly so far! But what's the next command to create the installation executable for Windows? Thanks a lot!

Are you talking about building Bitcoin Core Windows installer? If so, it seems their documentation only mention how to do it on Linux. But if you have extra storage space and some free RAM, you can do that using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

I followed this guide (in doc): build-windows-msvc.md, but don't see parameters for deploy. Yes, I think for the installer, I will have to follow: build-windows.md, that need WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
