• you can download a zip of this project here
• install some version of visual studio with C and C# compilers
• VS 2017 community edition works when installed with these options
• ensure authenticode is enabled on the machine, for example by running this reg script
  • export the existing key for backup if it exists

• multiple 'bzip2.c' prints on a single line are fine
• the whole process will stop when there's any sort of error, with output like:

• when cmd.exe crashes you may see JIT debugger popups like this
  • this is probably the crash described in #1, and indicates a hardware problem
  • you'll need to close all the JIT popups before kill-ryzen-win will print an error and exit
• you may see internal compiler error prints in the output before a failure
  • this indicates a hardware problem
  • TODO: get an example snippet
• you may see internal compiler errors when pressing ctrl-c
  • this is normal
