 The build steps in detail:
 
 1. Install *Inno Setup*. You can get it from [here](http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php)

-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

   <p>Please note that despite any technical problems that you may encounter your moneroj are almost always safe: You may
   not be able to move them or you even may not see how many you currently have, but you most probably won't loose any.
   But do remember that the seed needed to re-create the wallet <b>is</b> critical, however: <b>Never loose your

-  <p>There is a <b>bug</b> in this beta of the GUI wallet that triggers if it is installed in a path that contains spaces /
-  blank characters, like the default location for Windows programs <i>C:\Program Files</i> unfortunately does.
-  Symptoms are problems in the communication between the wallet and the daemon, e.g. the wallet not "seeing" the
-  daemon and then not knowing whether it is "synchronized" with the network and thus ready to work or not. You can
-  avoid these problems by starting the daemon yourself, with the help of the <i>Monero Daemon</i> icon in the
-  <i>Utilities</i> sub-folder of the Monero program group.</p>

   <p>In the <i>Utilities</i> sub-folder there are several more icons that may help you to solve problems.
