# PowerToys installer instructions | ||
|
||
## MSI installer instructions | ||
|
||
1. Install the [WiX Toolset Visual Studio 2019 Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=RobMensching.WiXToolset). | ||
2. Install the [WiX Toolset build tools](https://wixtoolset.org/releases/) in the development machine. | ||
3. Open `powertoys.sln`, select the "Release" and "x64" configurations and build the `PowerToysSetup` project. | ||
4. The resulting installer will be built to `PowerToysSetup\bin\Release\PowerToysSetup.msi`. | ||
|
||
## MSIX installer instructions | ||
|
||
### One-time tasks | ||
|
||
#### Create and install the self-sign certificate | ||
For the first-time installation, you'll need to generate a self-signed certificate. The script below will generate and add a cert to your [TRCA store](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/trusted-root-certification-authorities-certificate-store). | ||
1. Open `Developer PowerShell for VS` as an Admin | ||
2. Navigate to your repo's `installer\MSIX` | ||
3. Run `.\generate_self_sign_cert.ps1` | ||
|
||
**Note:** if you delete the folder, you will have to regenerate the key | ||
|
||
#### Elevate `Developer PowerShell for VS` permissions due to unsigned file | ||
`reinstall_msix.ps1` is unsigned, you'll need to elevate your prompt. | ||
1. Open `Developer PowerShell for VS` as admin | ||
2. Run `Set-ExecutionPolicy -executionPolicy Unrestricted` | ||
|
||
#### Allow Sideloaded apps | ||
In order to install the MSIX package without using the Microsoft Store, sideloading apps needs to be enabled. This can be done by enabling `Developer Options > Sideload apps` or `Developer Options > Developer mode`. | ||
|
||
### Building the MSIX package | ||
1. Make sure you've built the `Release` configuration of `powertoys.sln` | ||
2. Open `Developer PowerShell for VS` | ||
3. Navigate to your repo's `installer\MSIX` | ||
4. Run `.\reinstall_msix.ps1` from the devenv powershell | ||
|
||
### What reinstall_msix.ps1 does | ||
`reinstall_msix.ps1` removes the current PowerToys installation, restarts explorer.exe (to update PowerRename and ImageResizer shell extension), builds `PowerToys-x64.msix` package, signs it with a PowerToys_TemporaryKey.pfx, and finally installs it. | ||
|
||
## Cleanup - Removing all .msi/.msix PowerToys installations | ||
```ps | ||
$name='PowerToys' | ||
Get-AppxPackage -Name $name | select -ExpandProperty "PackageFullName" | Remove-AppxPackage | ||
gwmi win32_product -filter "Name = '$name'" -namespace root/cimv2 | foreach { | ||
if ($_.uninstall().returnvalue -eq 0) { write-host "Successfully uninstalled $name " } | ||
else { write-warning "Failed to uninstall $name." } | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
