This is found in the Start menu under VS 2022, and it is best to copy a shortcut in a more convenient place. Then the startup folder property in the shortcut can be changed to for example **$PICO**. Within this *DCP* all environment settings have been properly set to enable the building process. In the *DCP* window, chdir to the **build** folder and execute: **cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" ..** (do not forget the trailing dots, it points to the folder containing CMakeLists.txt). Now you have initialized the make environment (for *nmake*) and by executing **nmake** in that same **build** folder, all SDK libraries and finally the Pi Pico loadable file **uSDR.uf2** will be created. +*Note that when environment errors are encountered, it may help to empty the build folder and re-issue the cmake command.* Rebooting the Pico while the bootsel button is pressed will open a Windows Explorer window with the Pico shown as a Mass Storage Device (e.g. drive E:). Moving **uSDR.uf2** to the Pico is as easy as dragging and dropping this file into that MSD. ## Releases:
