First I installed Android Studio. When it started I set an option to create the application with Native C++ support and Android NDK was automatically installed to C:\Users\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk-bundle, also I added Android-19 API level and somehow CMake was installed to C:\Users\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\cmake\3.6.4111459. Then in QT Creator I opened Tools->Options->Devices->Android and specified the following paths:
I am not sure it is a correct way, but I was able to do this:
git clone --recursive https://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git --branch v5.10.1
and all the submodules were checked out with commit hashes tag v5.10.1 points to:
You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout. ... Submodule path 'qt3d': checked out '31f424bb81cd2583920d3d521e1e01f01c2d28e2' ...
There is new option ‘-AllUsers’ in Windows 10 1709 so ‘LinesGame’ APPX package, for example, can be removed for all users with the following command:
Get-AppxPackage -all *lines* Get-AppxPackage -all *lines* | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers
the first line outputs this:

To calculate MD5 checksum of a file in Windows 10 open a command prompt and run the following command:
certutil -hashfile <path to the file> MD5
to calculate SHA1 replace MD5 parameter used above with SHA1:
certutil -hashfile <path to the file> SHA1
The possible values of this parameter are: MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512
Windows 10 does not find network driver for ASUS H270M-PLUS motherboard automatically and the driver supplied with the motherboard does not install showing the message “The Realtech network controller was not found. If deep sleep mode is enabled please plug the cable”. But there is some specific Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V driver that works fine:
I mistakenly believed that 3GB of video memory is enough for mining, while EthDcrMiner64.exe does not work with 3GB on Windows 10 and reports the following errors:

To set up my virtual machines with the internet connection I followed the steps described in Configure Hyper V Virtual Machine With Internet Connection article:
First I created the virtual switch by going to Hyper-V Manager->Virtual Switch Manager:
WIX has NetFxExtension with NetFx4XXXX packages, so .NET Framework 4.6, for example, can be installed with the single line of code:

MyService is project referenced by my wixproj in VS2015. If Impersonate=”yes” the command is run as the current user, if “no”, the command is run as “NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM“. INSTALLFOLDER is defined as follows:
NSIS plugins are regular DLLs that export functions with typical def-files like this:
LIBRARY MY_NSIS_PLUGIN
EXPORTS
AddUser PRIVATE
CreateHive PRIVATE
...
They should be put to “C:\Program Files\NSIS\Plugins\x86-ansi” directory for NSIS v3.x. From nsi-script their functions can be called like this:
Function MyFunc ... MY_NSIS_PLUGIN::CreateHive ... FunctionEnd
