- The VC++ toolset is optional; if present it is used for `editbin.exe` to modify the stack size used by ILSpy.exe from 1MB to 16MB, because the decompiler makes heavy use of recursion, where small stack sizes lead to problems in very complex methods.
- Install the [.NET Core SDK 2.2](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download)
- Install the [.NET Core SDK 3](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core)
- Check out the ILSpy repository using git.
- Execute `git submodule update --init --recursive` to download the ILSpy-Tests submodule (used by some test cases).
