Hello,

I would like to suggest that Cake:

http://cakebuild.net/

get added to the base build image for AppVeyor. There is a Chocolatey Package available here:

https://chocolatey.org/packages/cake.portable

to help with getting it installed.

Thanks

Gary

   As it's being update quote frequently wouldn't be better installing it during the build?

   It takes seconds to install it directly from GitHub releases (for some reason installing from Chocolatey was slow):

   $zipPath = "$($env:USERPROFILE)\Cake-bin-v0.6.1.zip"
   (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://github.com/cake-build/cake/releases/download/v0.6.1/Cake-bin-v0.6.1.zip', $zipPath)
   7z x $zipPath -y -oC:\tools\cake | Out-Null
   $env:path = "C:\tools\cake;$env:path"

   Yes, it took like 40 seconds to install with Chocolatey (choco install cake.portable).
