Once the -Meta build completes, you will already have a flyable executable in either C:\FGFS\metabuild\install\msvc100-64\FlightGear\bin or C:\FGFS\metabuild\install\msvc100\FlightGear\bin depending on whether it's 64 or 32 bit. Other files such as fgrun.exe can be found and copied from the nearby folders under \install if required. | Once the -Meta build completes, you will already have a flyable executable in either C:\FGFS\metabuild\install\msvc100-64\FlightGear\bin or C:\FGFS\metabuild\install\msvc100\FlightGear\bin depending on whether it's 64 or 32 bit.
