| ''NOTE: Visual Studio 2010 is not presently a supported build environment for PCSX2.

| |
| #Accept the EULA and enter your Product Key, then hit Next.
| |
| #The .NET Development Environment is NOT required in order to configure PCSX2, but you can choose to install it if you plan on doing .NET Development. I recommend installing Visual Studio in the default location to ensure there are no problems later on.

| |
| #Once it has finished downloading the components, it will begin installing them.
| |
| #Soon after beginning the installation, I was prompted to reboot in order to continue.
| |
| #After I rebooted and logged on, I got the following at system startup:
