Usage

* Prerequisites

 Prior to using the Visual Studio installer plugin, make sure that you have the following installed on your system:

  [[1]] {{{ http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp} JDK 5.0 Update x}}

  [[2]] Both {{{http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/default.aspx} Microsoft .NET Framework}} (2.0+)
     AND {{{http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/default.aspx} NET Framework 2.0 SDK}}. Note that the 2.0+ framework
     is required to run NPanday, but you can still target 1.1 for your builds provided that the 1.1 version
     is also installed.

  [[3]] {{{http://nunit.org/index.php?p=download} NUnit 2.2+ (only if using unit tests)}}.

  [[4]] {{{http://maven.apache.org/download.html} Maven 2.0.4 or higher}}

  [[5]]   Visual Studio 2005 Standard or higher is needed to use the NPanday Addin
    (Visual Studio Express Edition will not work)

    []

 For the install only, you will also need to make sure that you have both the SDK and the .NET framework locations within your path. Typical
 locations include:

 * install root: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

 * SDK root: C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\v2.0\

* Installing

 If you have built NPanday locally on your machine, you can just type:

+----+
 mvn npanday.plugin:maven-vsinstaller-plugin:install
+----+

 If you have not built NPanday locally and are just looking to use the binary distribution, then check out the instructions here:
