+# Windows Development Environment for Dasher
+
+This is a guide for Dasher developers on Windows.
+
+## Build Status
+
+Windows:
+[![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/hpvrm5230qlay15m?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/erdemkiraz/dasher)

+
+## Dasher Version 4.11
+
+Dasher is a zooming predictive text entry system, designed for situations where keyboard input is impractical (for instance, accessibility or PDAs). 
+It is usable with highly limited amounts of physical input while still allowing high rates of text entry.
+
+Dasher is Free software released under the GPL. Further documentation may be found in the Doc/ subdirectory
+
+## Requirements
+
+Expat XML Parser 
+Downloads can be found at http://expat.sourceforge.net
+
+The project files use environment variables to locate the root directories of 
+the prerequisites.  You can set these in the Windows control panel: 
+Control Panels->System->Advanced->Environment Variables.
+
+Here are the variable names and their default install locations (you may
+need to change these to reflect reality on your system):
+
+EXPAT          C:\Program Files\Expat 2.2.5
+
+## Building
+Visual Studio 2017 solution/project files are included in the 
+Src/Win32 directory.
+
+**NOTE** 
+
+For 2017 version needs Visual Studio 2015(v140) tool. (Or you need to add some additional packages.)
+
+**NOTE** 
+
+Default build tools of Visiual Studio may not work. So you need to modify the Target Framework and Platform Toolset. Instructions can be found at [ How to Retarget ](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/how-to-modify-the-target-framework-and-platform-toolset)
+
+
+
+## Support and Feedback
+Please file any bug reports in the [ GNOME Bugzilla system ](http://bugzilla.gnome.org/)
+using the 'dasher' package name.
