Steps required to create a build server

Windows

Install build tools

1. Install Visual Studio 2005 (No service Pack) - do not forget to add the x64 compiler to the C++ install for a 64-bit build!
2. Install Java JDK6 Update 13 or better (http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp)
3. Install CruiseControl, install it to c:\CruiseControl as vista is very picky about letting apps write to the Program Files Directories
4. Install Python 2.5.4 (64-bit version for 64-bit build)
5. Install SVN command line tools
6. Install TortoiseSVN
7. Install Doxygen
8. Install Wix 2.0
9. Install Apache Http Server

Extra Information for Vista

In RegEdit set the following: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\DontShowUI = 1

Otherwise, if a test crashes the CruiseControl process will hang until someone close the Crash pop-up.
