+This directory includes all the necessary files to compile Capstone on Windows
+using Microsoft Visual Studio (VS).
+
+
+NOTE:
+
+(1) Visual Studio 2010 or newer versions is required. Open "capstone.sln" to
+    build the libraries & test code with Visual Studio. The resulted binaries
+	are put under either msvc/Debug or msvc/Release, depending on how you choose
+	to compile them.
+
+(2) The solution (capstone.sln) & all project files (*.vcxproj) are made in
+    Visual Studio 2010, so if you open them using newer version, an extra step
+	is needed to convert them to current version. Just accept this when
+	asked at the initial dialog, and proceed to build the solution normally
+	afterwards.
