Ideally, people should just downaload, doubleclick on arz-<version>.zip and doubleclick on arz.bat to run this script and get results, but this is far from true.
Downloads are discouraged if not blocked by web browsers, and security mechanisms inside the newer versions of Windows may block ARZ in a way that people may think it just doesn't work. In example: in Windows 11, as administrator, if I doubleclik on arz.bat a command prompt window appears and immediately disappears, if I unpack arz-22.zip, add a PAUSE command to my script, comment out the first ECHO Off, I read that I have no permissions to run the script, is my system misconfigured? Maybe, maybe not, but the silent failure is unaccptable for the understanding of non tech savvy users, the people ARZ is intended to serve.
I created but closed an issue about that problem, because I can't do anything to really fix it.
