 1. Clone Aegisub's repository recursively to fetch it and all submodules: `git clone --recursive git@github.com:Aegisub/Aegisub.git`
 2. Disable autocrlf for ffmpeg, as its build system manages to not support Windows newlines: `cd aegisub/deps/ffmpeg && git config --local core.autocrlf && git rm --cached -r . && git reset --hard`
-3. Open Aegisub.sln
-4. Build the "! Update Dependencies" project
+3. Open Visual Studio from the VS2013 Native Tools Command Promp using devenv.exe /useenv (required for the build system to be able to find nmake.exe for building wxWidgets)
+4. Open Aegisub.sln
 5. Open the properties for the Aegisub project and set the location of MSYS in Configuration Properties > Aegisub > Library paths
 6. Build Aegisub
 7. Copy the contents of an existing Aegisub install into the aegisub/aegisub/bin directory (not strictly required, but you'll be missing a lot of functionality otherwise).
