# Internet Explorer Development Environment
2+
3+
In order to make changes to, and build the Internet Explorer plugin's dll's i.e: The BHO (Broser Helper Object) you will need to perform the steps below.
4+
5+
## Microsoft Visual Studio 2012
6+
- Install the Professional 2012 version at the minimum, from [here](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/). Anything newer will require significant project upgrades, and the **Express version will not work since it doesn't come with the ATL libraries**.
7+
8+
## Boost v1.52.0
9+
- Download from [here](https://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_52_0.html) and copy into `c:\dev\boost_1_52_0`
10+
- Go to `c:\dev\boost_1_52_0`
11+
- Run `bootstrap.bat` then...
12+
- Run `.\b2 --build-type=complete --with-filesystem --with-regex --libdir=c:\dev\boost_1_52_0\stage\lib64 address-model=64`
13+
- Rename `c:\dev\boost_1_52_0\stage\lib` to `c:\dev\boost_1_52_0\stage\lib64`
14+
- Delete `c:\dev\boost_1_52_0\bin.v2`. This is **very important** otherwise you will deal with linking errors for days!
15+
- Run `.\b2 --build-type=complete --with-filesystem --with-regex --libdir=c:\dev\boost_1_52_0\stage\lib address-model=32`
16+
17+
## Opening the Visual Studio Project
18+
- Open [browser-extensions/ie/msvc/BHO.vcxproj](https://github.com/reicolina/browser-extensions/blob/master/ie/msvc/BHO.vcxproj) in Visual Studio 2012.
