This used to be all you needed - I am guessing that many of these tools are way out of date though and you just need latest versions: > **[GridProtectionAlliance/gsf](https://github.com/GridProtectionAlliance/gsf/tree/master/Contributor%20Resources/Tools/Build%20Tools)** > > Grid Solutions Framework. Contribute to GridProtectionAlliance/gsf development by creating an account on GitHub. We have this so we can automate documentation - but since we’ve updated our build box, we haven’t re-enabled this in a while - FYI @StephenCWills Seems like to GSF it too quite a while to build the docs - but it does produce nice results: [https://www.gridprotectionalliance.org/NightlyBuilds/GridSolutionsFramework/Help/html/N\_GSF.htm](https://www.gridprotectionalliance.org/NightlyBuilds/GridSolutionsFramework/Help/html/N_GSF.htm) Make sure on this page to expand the “root node” to see all documentation produced… Thanks!

Make sure you install the Visual Studio extensions for Sandcastle Help File Builder. I don’t know if that’s included in the NuGet package. ---
