# Zero Install for Windows



[![Build status](https://img.shields.io/appveyor/ci/0install/0install-win.svg)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/0install/0install-win)  

This is the Windows version of Zero Install. It extends the cross-platform core [Zero Install .NET](https://github.com/0install/0install-dotnet) with a GUI and various OS-specific integrations.



Zero Install is a decentralized cross-platform software installation system. You can learn more at [0install.net](https://0install.net/).



**[Download Zero Install for Windows](https://get.0install.net/#windows)**



## Building



The source code is in [`src/`](src/) and generated artifacts are placed in `artifacts/`.  

The source code does not contain version numbers. Instead the version is determined during CI using [GitVersion](https://gitversion.net/).



To build install [Visual Studio 2022 v17.8 or newer](https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/) and run `.\build.ps1`.  

If you wish to deploy the build after compilation as the default Zero Install instance in your user profile run `.\build.ps1 -Deploy`. To deploy it for all users use `.\build.ps1 -Deploy -Machine`.



## Integration tests



The PowerShell scripts in [`tests/`](tests/) are integration tests.



You can run them individually. They will then use the version of Zero Install found in your current `PATH`.



You can also run them all against:

- your latest build, with `.\test.ps1`

- a temporarily deployed copy of your latest build, with `.\test.ps1 -Deploy`

- a temporarily deployed machine-wide copy of your latest build, with `.\test.ps1 -Deploy -Machine`

- a temporarily deployed portable copy of your latest build, with `.\test.ps1 -Deploy -Portable`

## Privacy and code signing policy



Zero Install for Windows contacts various servers automatically during normal operation (e.g., to check for updates). No personal information is transmitted to these systems unless specifically requested by the user (e.g., to synchronize apps between computers). See the [documentation](https://docs.0install.net/details/servers/) for details.



This program uses free code signing provided by [SignPath.io](https://signpath.io?utm_source=foundation&utm_medium=github&utm_campaign=0install), and a certificate by the [SignPath Foundation](https://signpath.org?utm_source=foundation&utm_medium=github&utm_campaign=0install). Signed releases are published by [Bastian Eicher](https://github.com/bastianeicher).
