    "make.proj" in the same directory comments: " _These text files contain a list of files to copy from the bin directory into the redist\platform directories._ ". "redistsetup.bat" in the same directory explains it is used to " _invoke msbuild to process redist files_ " and also refers to "redist.targets" for more detail, still in the same directory. – Sertac Akyuz Oct 25 '21 at 16:07
