* Creating reproducible Windows VM images with pre-installed software.
|

* Compiling Conda packages with Visual Studio in a fully reproducible manner and without having to deal with the constant data corruption caused by Conda.

How to use
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
Install a Windows image
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
1. Adjust demo-image.nix accordingly
|
||||
2. Run:
|
||||
|
||||
If in impure mode
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
nix-build demo-image.nix
|
||||
./result
|
||||
```
|
||||
Results in a file called c.img
|
||||
|
||||
If in pure mode
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
nix-build demo-image.nix
|
||||
ls -la ./result
|
||||
```
|
||||
Results in a symlink to the image in the nix store
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Impure/pure mode
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes it can be useful to build the image _outside_ of the Nix sandbox for debugging purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
For this purpose we have an attribute called `impureMode` which outputs the shell script used by Nix inside the sandbox to build the image.
