# Build with default settings this will generate VS2013 and VS2015 builds of the libcef_wrapper and generate the nuget packages
.\build.ps1

# Build the default version targeting only VS2013 and then generate the nuget packages
.\build.ps1 -Target vs2013
.\build.ps1 -Target nupkg-only

# Build version 3.2924.1538.gbfdeccd with VS2013
.\build.ps1 -Target vs2013 -CefVersion 3.2924.1538.gbfdeccd

• Extract the 64bit version into <path-to-cef-binary>\cef_binary_3.y.z_windows64
• Ensure CMake is in the path
• Edit build.ps1 and update the CEF version and CEF package version based on the CEF version you downloaded.
