EasyOS One Click Installer Files

## How to Build the EasyOS OneClick Installer from the Project ZIP

The ZIP file contains the **source code** of the project. To build the final Windows executable (`.exe`), follow these steps.

---

# 1. Extract the ZIP file

Right-click on:

```text
EasyOS_OneClick_Commercial_Project_by_pp4mnk.zip
```

Select:

```text
Extract All...
```

For example, extract it to:

```text
C:\EasyOS_OneClick_Commercial_Project_by_pp4mnk
```

---

# 2. Install the .NET 8 SDK

Search for:

```text
.NET 8 SDK download
```

Download and install the **SDK** (not only the Runtime).

---

# 3. Open the project folder

Go to:

```text
C:\EasyOS_OneClick_Commercial_Project_by_pp4mnk
```

You should see something similar to:

```text
BUILD_RELEASE.bat
EasyOS.OneClick.sln
src
docs
installer
branding
```

---

# 4. Build the application

Double-click:

```text
BUILD_RELEASE.bat
```

A command window will open and compile the project.

When the build finishes, the executable will be generated in:

```text
src\EasyOS.OneClick.App\bin\Release\net8.0-windows\win-x64\publish\
```

The executable will be named something similar to:

```text
EasyOS_Setup_by_pp4mnk.exe
```

---

# 5. Test the application

Double-click:

```text
EasyOS_Setup_by_pp4mnk.exe
```

Windows will request administrator privileges.

Accept the prompt.

You should then see the installer interface:

```text
Welcome to EasyOS

Install EasyOS — Keep Windows

by pp4mnk
```

Don't worry: **this version does not modify partitions or delete Windows.** It only demonstrates the complete installation workflow.

---

# 6. Create a professional Setup installer

Once the executable has been generated, install **Inno Setup**.

Then open:

```text
installer\inno\EasyOS_OneClick_Setup.iss
```

Click:

```text
Compile
```

This will generate a professional Windows installer such as:

```text
EasyOS_Setup_by_pp4mnk.exe
```

ready to distribute.
