## 📖 About
**PowerShell GUI Script Template** is a **fully modular and ready-to-use template** for building interactive PowerShell GUI applications tailored for **Windows administration, automation, and user interaction**.
Originally built for **personal and professional automation needs**, this template is now shared to help others **quickly bootstrap** robust PowerShell GUI projects. It enables system administrators, IT professionals, and developers to **create user-friendly interfaces** that interactively handle data, automate processes, and manage systems — without needing C#/VB.NET.
> ⚙️ **Note**: Focused on being **clean, efficient, and extensible**, providing ready-to-use blocks for forms, buttons, dialogs, and admin actions.
## 🚀 Installation
### Prerequisites
- **Windows OS** (Tested on **Windows 10 & 11** — may work on older versions but not officially supported).
- **PowerShell 5.1 or higher** (pre-installed on modern Windows).
> ⚠️ **Note**: 100% **pure PowerShell**, **no external software required**.
### Getting the Template
#### Option 1: Clone via Git (Recommended)
```powershell
git clone https://github.com/franckferman/PowerShell-Script-GUI-Template.git
```
#### Option 2: **Direct Download** from GitHub
1. Go to GitHub repo.
2. Click `<> Code` → `Download ZIP`.
3. Extract the archive to your desired location.
Both methods will provide you with the complete set of files required to use the `PowerShell-Script-GUI-Template`.
## 🎮 Usage
### Getting started
1. Open PowerShell as Administrator.
2. Temporarily allow script execution:
```powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process
```
> 🛑 Important: This command temporarily adjusts the execution policy to allow script execution for the current process only, minimizing security risks.
> Always examine scripts before executing them to ensure safety.
3. Run the GUI script:
```powershell
.\PowerShellScriptGUITemplate.ps1
```
Alternatively, for a streamlined approach, combine the execution policy adjustment with script launch in a single line:
```powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process; .\PowerShellScriptGUITemplate.ps1
```
> This command executes the main script, bringing up the GUI for interactive use.
> The template provides a user-friendly graphical interface, facilitating navigation through various automation tasks and options with ease.
