Source code

Getting source code is not as simple as getting source code from other sites like SourceForge. You must know SVN to get the source code.

SVN or Subversion is something similar to Visual source safe, rational clear case in concept, but looks just great!!!

Use following links to know more about SVN.

You need to install SVN client to get the source code from Google code
Find list of SVN clients here

I recommend you to use Tortiose SVN. If you are using visual studio professional and ready to spend around 50 USD, get Visual SVN.

Steps to get source code using Tortoise SVN
1. Folder where you want to checkout source code... Any folder for example D:\Nvin Installer
2. Select option as shown below 

2. Enter URL as shown in the image below.

3. just click OK.

Now you can modify it as you like, but it will not affect code in the server. You need separate user name and password for that.

I really like this approach adopted by Google. Major advantages what i feel is you will always get latest code. I don't have to create separate ZIP file and upload to give you latest source code.
