+You can only build on Windows, and the result is always a

+Helium Hydra GUI wallet.
The build steps in detail:
1. Install *Inno Setup*. You can get it from [here](http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php)
-2. Get the Inno Setup script plus related files by cloning the whole [monero-core](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-core) repository; you will only need the files in the installer directory `installers\windows` however
-3. The setup script is written to take the GUI Wallet files from a subdirectory named `bin`; so create `installers\windows\bin`, get the zip file of the GUI Wallet Beta 2 from [here](https://getmonero.org/downloads/), unpack it somewhere, and copy all the files and subdirectories in the `monero-gui-0.10.3.1-beta2` directory to this `bin` subdirectory
-4. Start Inno Setup, load `Monero.iss` and compile it.
