Note that the installer build process is now reproducible / deterministic. For details check the file [Deterministic.md](Deterministic.md).
The build steps in detail:
1. Install *Inno Setup*. You can get it from [here](http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php)
2. Get the Inno Setup script plus related files by cloning the whole [monero-gui GitHub repository](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui); you will only need the files in the installer directory `installers\windows` however. Depending on development state, additionally instead of simply using `master` you may have to checkout a specific branch, like `release-v0.16`.
3. The setup script is written to take the GUI wallet files from a subdirectory named `bin`; so create `installers\windows\bin`, get the zip file of the GUI wallet from [here](https://getmonero.org/downloads/), unpack it somewhere, and copy all the files and subdirectories in the single subdirectory there (currently named `monero-gui-0.16.0.0`) to this `bin` subdirectory
