= Using nightly builds under Windows (XP or Vista) =
----

First download a nightly build version of descent in [http://downloads.dsource.org/projects/descent/ here]!

If you don't have descent installed previously over svn I recommend to do so!
[[BR]]
Read the installation and configuration manuals at the [http://www.dsource.org/projects/descent descent project page] at "Documentation",
or go directly to "[wiki:Installing Installing the plugin]".

Then follow these steps:

 1. Unpack the nightly build zip-file in a folder of your choice.
 1. Close any running eclipse instance.
 1. Change to the eclipse application folder (e.g. "'''C:\Program Files\eclipse'''" or at a 64bit Windows "'''C:\Program Files (x86)\eclipse'''" or wherever you've installed eclipse).
 1. Remove the old descent installation files at "'''eclipse\features\'''" called "'''descent.ui.DATE'''" (e.g. "'''descent.ui_0.5.2.20080501'''") 
 1. Remove all the jar-files at "'''eclipse\plugins\'''" with a descent-prefix (e.g. "'''descent.astview_0.5.2.20080501.jar'''").
 1. Now move your previously unpacked nightly builds -folders ("features" and "plugins") to your eclipse installation location and merge them with the existing ones.
 1. Configure descent if necessary. To do so read "[wiki:Configuring Configuring the plugin]".
 1. Start eclipse and start a new d-project or continue your work on an existing project.
