First grab the code using git:
git clone https://github.com/0xd4d/dnSpy.git
cd dnSpy
git submodule update --init --recursiveUse Visual Studio 2010 or later or run debugbuild.bat / releasebuild.bat
to build it once you have all dependencies. You probably don't need Visual Studio
installed to run the *.bat files. The C# compiler is usually installed if you
have the .NET Framework installed. Otherwise, download and install Microsoft Build Tools.
You need the Visual Studio SDK to build ILSpy.AddIn. [NOTE: ILSpy.AddIn is currently disabled in Release mode because the build server fails to build it due to a missing dependency. You must enable it in VS: Build|Configuration Manager]
The git command above should've downloaded the correct versions. If you
can't use git, grab the code from these links. dnlib must have THREAD_SAFE
defined when you compile it.
