Same here -
I read the website, thought 'wow Windows is getting its act together', then I tried to use it. The downloads complained of not being signed, I ignored that, but still they refused to work - eventually I gave up, and moved on to manual installation.
And indeed the same story - that makes it at least two, let's kill that section.
The LODE page for some reason recommends Visual Studio 2015 - three times, though there is 2013 in the small print. I was to discover many hours later that in fact LibreOffice x86 on the libreoffice-5-2 branch (at least) doesn't compile in this configuration.
Can we collectively resource fixing that? I recall a problem, but forgot the details. Tying us to a particular version seems problematic to me. Beyond that - yeah, let's fix the onboarding wiki.
I was broken by McAffe - it broke git - the simple clone failed with a permissions problem. We have a not-very-explicit "turn off AV" messaging but not in the LODE (or devcentral) pages, and we should do that earlier I think; step #1 ;-)
That might need more nuancing perhaps, lest that we make it appear ~impossible for some people to build at all (policy & things). Cheers, -- Thorsten
