Information

The installer was tested on Windows Pro 10 and 11
Under Windows, the installer is the most complicated, using 3 parts, facilitating code development and maintenance, and essentially the user experience:
1. The windows.bat script allows to manage Group Polices: It will save and modify the PowerShell Policy in order to be able to launch Powershell scripts At the end it will restore the original Policy It will launch 2 PowerShell scripts:
2. Powershell scripts:
  1. The script install-pyenv-win.ps1 allowing the installation of PyEnv
  2. The script DoNotLaunchDirectly.ps1, creating the e-puck2 virtual Python 3.11.2 environment dedicated to the TPs
3. Graphical installer, setting up the E-puck2 IDE

👉 Launching the installer

download the .zip of the setup program here
extract the .zip (<right-click> - extract)
launch with the Administrator rights the Create_VSCode_e-puck2-RefTag/windows.bat script. The simplest way is to do a <Right-click> on this batch in the Windows Explorer and Run as administrator
💡 these 2 windows pop-up because the install script is not signed, however there are no risk so you can:
- click on More info
- then run anyway
Enter Yes in order to accept to launch this batch as Administrator.

Here follow the messages displayed in the console for information:
