The install.sh script hosted in this repository is the core deployment engine. Please note that it is designed to be fed environment variables directly from the WinZapGo graphical interface.
While you can run it manually by exporting $TARGET_DRIVE and $ISO_PATH, doing so bypasses the GUI's safety validations. Internal drive protections have been disabled in the script to allow advanced users maximum flexibility, so double-check your target paths before executing!
