Important
Prior to installing WinMac, it is strongly recommended that you read Installation Guide Wiki page for comprehensive guidance.
EasyLauncher batch script allows the installer to be run as a GUI or in a Terminal to make the installation and configuration process simple and straightforward.
Here are the ways you can run different deployment mods:
- EasyLauncher.bat runs installation GUI by default
- EasyLayncher.bat -nogui or -n runs installer fully in Terminal
- EasyLayncher.bat -uninstall or -u runs uninstallation GUI
- EasyLayncher.bat -uninstallnogui or -un runs uninstaller fully in Terminal
Caution
You must run batch file in Administrative session of Powershell 7 (not Windows Powershell) to ensure reliable installation/uninstallation process.
You can choose between full or custom installation, if you only want to install specific WinMac components.
