Care to give us a tutorial?I don't see why people just run SVN if they can't wait for RC2 and refresh the page tens of times a day... I do and loving the fixed issues
Seriously, I followed the wiki guidelines for developers only to find that they were a bit out of date. Using an express edition is not easy (for me at least - maybe it isn't supported for Windows 7). It will be even more difficult for MP II.

You no longer need Visual studio to compile MP. It can be compiled with MsBuild which comes with Windows 7/.Net v3.5 SDK.
To build the installer you also need to have NSIS installed.
Having these installed and the source code downloaded according to the wiki page, it should be a simple matter of running the "build deploy release.bat" in mediaportal and TvEngine3 subfolders. The .bat files should create an installer in these folders:
mediaportal\Setup\Release\
and
TvEngine3\TVLibrary\Setup\Release\
From then on you can change the source code to your desires. Just remember to share your improvements in the submit patches section. Happy coding!
