Instructions for extracting the certificates are included. I have to go back
now and make this compile on Unix.
duplicate DLL files to the distribution. David found that using a
different GTK download fixed the problem (see
docs/win32-installer-zenmap-buildguide.txt) and Fyodor was able to
reproduce and implement.

explaining that nselib-bin used to be used but isn't any longer. Thanks to jah
for the suggestion.
too. The section in scripting.xml about creating C modules is gone. (But maybe
it should be replaced with a tutorial on making static modules?) The only
places where nselib-bin is still referenced are in mswin32/nsis/Nmap.nsi, where
it is still removed on uninstallation; and in mswin32/nmap.vcproj, from where I
don't have the resources now to remove it.
Visual C++ 2008 runtime components if they aren't already installed
on a system. These are some reasonably small DLLs that are
generally necessary for applications compiled with Visual C++ (with
dynamic linking). Many or most systems already have these installed
from other software packages. The lack of these components led to
the error message "The Application failed to intialize properly
(0xc0150002)." with Nmap 4.65. A related change is that Nmap on
Windows is now compiled with /MD rather than /MT so that it
consistently uses these runtime libraries. The patch was created by
Rob Nicholls.
o Our WinPcap installer now starts the NPF driver running as a
service immediately upon installation and after restarts. You can
disable this with new checkboxes. This behavior is important for
Vista and Windows Server 2008 machines when User Account
Control (UAC) is enabled. [Rob Nicholls]
o Nmap and Nmap-Winpcap silent installation now works. Nmap can
be silently installed with the /S option to the installer.
If you install Nmap from the zip file, you can install just
Winpcap silently with the /S option to that
installer. [Rob Nicholls]
o Our WinPcap installer is now included with the Nmap Win32 zip
file. [Fyodor]
o Numerous miscellaneous improvements were made to our Win32
installer, such as using the "Modern" NSIS UI for WinPcap,
improving the option description labels, and showing a finish
page in all cases. [Rob Nicholls]
The necessary libraries (lib and dll) and headers required for compilation and
linking are in mswin32/OpenSSL. A detailed upgrade guide is available in
mswin32/OpenSSL/upgrade-guide.txt.
Thanks to Thomas Buchanan for doing the initial work and writing up the initial
build guide.
My openssl-testing branch has been posted on nmap-dev for 12 days and has been
tested by (at least) Thomas, Jah and I, with no reports of failure.

when presented by the Windows executable (NSIS) installer. Thanks
to Jah for the patch (which was modified slightly by Fyodor).
