## Usage

#### Easy Method:

Download the [latest release installer](https://github.com/TheCodingCarson/PowershellContextTools/releases) and run the installer and you are set to go!  If you are using the installer method you can easily uninstall and revert back to before PowerShell Context Tools was ever installed from the normal windows control panel.

#### DIY Method:

Download either the [latest release source code](https://github.com/TheCodingCarson/PowershellContextTools/releases) or the main repo (not guaranteed to be working properly) and install [WiX Toolset 3.11.2](https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/releases/tag/wix3112rtm) from [the WiX Toolset github repo](https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3) and the [WiX Toolset Visual Studio 2022 extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=WixToolset.WixToolsetVisualStudio2022Extension) and then open the solution in Visual Studio 2022 and build the solution.

## Built Using
