Note: the project requires the WTL (Windows Template Library): https://sourceforge.net/projects/wtl/ NuGet can be used to install this package (search for wtl).

Requires the "Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects" extension to build the setup projects. [Installed via the Visual Studio "Extensions" Menu, "Manage Extensions".]

When building the installer project(s), I will often get an error:

------ Starting pre-build validation for project 'DarkThumbsSetup_x64' ------ 
ERROR: Invalid or unspecified target for shortcut 'DarkThumbs', located in 'User's Desktop'

To fix, requires shutting down Visual Studio, deleting all the temp files you can, and restart VS and build.
