For more information, see [http://slicer-devel.65872.n3.nabble.com/How-to-solve-wget-error-certificate-common-name-c-ssl-fastly-net-doesn-t-match-requested-host-name-p-td4031491.html here] and [http://slicer-devel.65872.n3.nabble.com/Re-Hash-Error-td4031386.html here]

Start Windows Explorer. [http://www.wikihow.com/Open-Windows-Explorer Need help?]
<ol start="1" style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li>Open <code>Slicer-SuperBuild\Slicer.sln</code> in Visual Studio</li>
<li>Select build configuration. Usually '''Release''' or '''Debug'''</li>
<li>Select menu <code>Project -> Build Solution</code></li>
</ol>

If you make local changes to Slicer, open the solution file located in the directory <code>Slicer-SuperBuild/Slicer-build</code> instead. You should then be able to either build all projects or just a specific one.
