Goal
Provide a single script that sets up everything needed to run the full system, plus clear documentation for new developers.
Work needed
Setup script (\scripts/Setup-DevEnvironment.ps1)
- Check prerequisites (VS 2022, .NET Framework 4.8 SDK, LocalDB, IIS Express)
- Create LocalDB instances and run schema + seed scripts
- Restore NuGet packages
- Build the solution
- Report ready status with URLs for each web app
Developer docs (\docs/getting-started.md)
- Prerequisites list with download links
- Step-by-step first run instructions
- Architecture overview pointing to each runnable component
- Troubleshooting common issues (port conflicts, LocalDB failures, etc.)
Optional: launch profile
- A solution-level launch configuration that starts all web apps + WCF service together
- Or a \scripts/Start-AllServices.ps1\ that launches everything
Dependencies
- All other runnable-app issues should be complete first
Acceptance criteria
- A fresh clone + running the setup script → working system
- README links to getting-started docs
- No undocumented manual steps required
