2-1. if you are choices  included openssl version
please openssl install on your windows  before next step.

3. Find appropriate solution file and build.

build_vs71.cmd ==> Visual Studio .NET 2003

build_vs80.cmd ==> Visual Studio 2005

build_vs90.cmd ==> Visual Studio 2008

build_vs100.cmd ==> Visual Studio 2010

build_vs110.cmd ==> Visual Studio 2012

build_vs120.cmd ==> Visual Studio 2013

build_vs130.cmd ==> Visual Studio 2014
( if not exist file..  make it..
ex.

build_vs130.cmd

@echo off if defined VS140COMNTOOLS ( call “%VS140COMNTOOLS%vsvars32.bat”) buildwin 140 build all both Win32 samples

)

For more info about visual studio versions

For example, if you want to use poco lib in Visual Studio 2005 Project, you need to build with build_vs80.cmd.Once you have built successfully, you can see all poco static lib in {POCO Folder}lib. (eg: C:poco-1.6.1lib)

4. Create new project in visual studio and add header path to Project->Properties->C/C++-> Additional Include Directories(eg: If you want to use     POCO Foundation, add “C:poco-1.6.1Foundationinclude”)
ex. 

5. Add POCO lib path to Project->Properties-> Linker-> General-> Additional Library Directories. (eg: C:poco-1.6.1lib)

6. Add POCO lib files names to Project->Properties->Linker->Input-> Additional Dependencies (eg: PocoNetd.lib )

Now you can start using POCO libraries in your project.

if your windows is win64, copy all dll from  “C:poco-1.x.xbin” to “C:WindowsSysWOW64”
