+Once OpenVPN build is finished, you may want to make an installer executable. OpenVPN installers are packaged using [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page NSIS], which you can download from [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download here]. The buildsystem (win\make_dist.py) puts everything the NSI script (<openvpn-sources>\win\openvpn.nsi) needs to ''<openvpn-sources>\dist''. If you are using signed TAP drivers from an existing OpenVPN installer, you need to do one extra step: place the signed TAP drivers and corresponding ''tapinstall.exe'' to ''<openvpn-sources>\dist\i386'' and ''<openvpn-sources>\dist\amd64'', respectively. Make sure 32-bit files go to ''i386'' directory and 64-bit files to ''amd64'' directory.
+
+OpenVPN installer is driven by the ''<openvpn-sources>\win\openvpn.nsi'' NSI script, which is loaded to the ''MakeNSIS'' application to generate an installer. If the ''<openvpn-sources>\dist'' directory has been properly set up, you should not encounter any errors. However, if MakeNSIS complains about something, make sure the directory layout of ''<openvpn-sources>\dist'' is like this:
+
+ * '''amd64'''
+  * OemWin2k.inf
+  * tap0901.cat
