+***********************************************************************
+* HDF5 Build and Install Instructions for Windows *
+* (Full Version) *
+***********************************************************************
+
+We now recommend that users build, test and install HDF5 using CMake.
+
+Instructions for building and testing HDF5 using CMake can be found in the
+INSTALL_CMake.txt file found in this folder.
+
+For instructions of building and testing an application with HDF5, see
+USING_HDF5_CMake.txt file found in this folder.
+
+Users who want to build and run an application with HDF5 in Visual Studio
+without using CMake should consult the USING_HDF5_VS.txt file. Building
+applications with the dynamic/shared hdf5 libraries requires that the
+"H5_BUILT_AS_DYNAMIC_LIB" compile definition be used.
