What it does
Build Agent Msi is an agent skill from Devolutions/devolutions-gateway. Build the Devolutions Agent Windows MSI installer locally. Use when asked to build, compile, or rebuild the agent MSI.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development. It works with Rust. The repository describes itself as: A blazing fast relay server adaptable to different protocols and desired levels of traffic inspection. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Rebuild the agent MSI
Example prompts
- “/build-agent-msi”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 81a3141. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
cargodotnetpwsh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Build Agent Msi loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 329 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Build Devolutions Agent MSI Locally
Required Tools
- MSBuild — VS 2022:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe - MakeAppx.exe — Windows SDK:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.26100.0\x64\MakeAppx.exe - Rust/cargo
Important Notes
Static CRT is required. Local builds do NOT link the CRT statically by default, but CI does. Without
+crt-static, the binary fails at runtime with exit code-1073741515(0xC0000135, DLL not found) on any machine that doesn't have the MSVC redistributable installed — including fresh VMs. Always set$Env:RUSTFLAGS = "-C target-feature=+crt-static"beforecargo build.devolutions-agent-updateris NOT a separate package. It is a[[bin]]target inside thedevolutions-agentpackage (seedevolutions-agent/Cargo.toml). Building-p devolutions-agentproduces bothdevolutions-agent.exeanddevolutions-agent-updater.exe. Do NOT use-p devolutions-agent-updater— it will fail with "package ID specification did not match any packages".PEDM shell extension MSIX only builds in debug profile. The MakeAppx step is not wired into the release build. Always point

Release\DevolutionsAgent.msi. Rename it to the versioned form (DevolutionsAgent-x86_64-<version>.msi) after the build if needed for distribution.
Step 1 — Build Rust Binaries
cd D:\devolutions-gateway
$Env:PATH += ";C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.26100.0\x64" # needed for PEDM MSIX
$Env:RUSTFLAGS = "-C target-feature=+crt-static" # required — matches CI
cargo build --release -p devolutions-agent -p devolutions-session
cargo build -p devolutions-pedm-shell-ext # debug only — MSIX step not wired into release profile
# devolutions-agent-updater.exe is produced automatically alongside devolutions-agent.exeStep 2 — Download tun2socks and wintun
cd D:\devolutions-gateway
pwsh ci/download-tun2socks.ps1
# Produces: tun2socks.exe and wintun.dll in the repo rootStep 3 — Download multi-pwsh
cd D:\devolutions-gateway

cd D:\devolutions-gateway\dotnet\DesktopAgent

# Output: bin\Debug\net48\DevolutionsDesktopAgent.exeStep 5 — Build the MSI
cd D:\devolutions-gateway\package\AgentWindowsManaged

$Env:DAGENT_DESKTOP_AGENT_PATH = "$base\dotnet\DesktopAgent\bin\Debug\net48"
$version = (Get-Content "$base\VERSION" -Raw).Trim()
if ($version.StartsWith("20")) { $version = $version.Substring(2) } # strip century: 2026.1.0 → 26.1.0

Optionally rename to a versioned filename and compute the SHA-256 (needed for productinfo.json):
$msi = "D:\devolutions-gateway\package\AgentWindowsManaged\Release\DevolutionsAgent.msi"
$versioned = "D:\devolutions-gateway\package\AgentWindowsManaged\Release\DevolutionsAgent-x86_64-20$($Env:DAGENT_VERSION).0.msi"
Copy-Item $msi $versioned -Force
$hash = (Get-FileHash $versioned -Algorithm SHA256).Hash
$hash | Set-Content "$([System.IO.Path]::ChangeExtension($versioned, 'sha'))"Installing the MSI
Always install with administrator rights. Double-clicking the MSI from Explorer runs the installer
under an impersonated (non-elevated) token, which causes Error code 5 or silent failures in custom
actions that require elevation.
Install from an already-elevated PowerShell prompt:
# Option 1 — msiexec with log (recommended for debugging)
msiexec /i "C:\path\to\DevolutionsAgent-x86_64-2026.1.0.0.msi" /l*v "C:\path\to\log.log"
# Option 2 — silent install
msiexec /i "C:\path\to\DevolutionsAgent-x86_64-2026.1.0.0.msi" /quietCommon Build Failures
Missing WixSharp.wix.bin NuGet Package
cd D:\devolutions-gateway\package\AgentWindowsManaged
dotnet add package WixSharp.wix.bin --prerelease
# Must match the WixSharp version (3.14.1)MakeAppx Not Found During PEDM Shell Ext Build
$Env:PATH += ";C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.26100.0\x64"0xC0000135 / Exit Code -1073741515 at Runtime
The binary was built without static CRT. Rebuild with $Env:RUSTFLAGS = "-C target-feature=+crt-static"
(see Step 1). This matches the CI build and eliminates the dependency on the MSVC redistributable.
