1. To verify that the zip files were not tampered during the transfer, open a PowerShell terminal and run:

   $line = Get-Content -Path pack-sld.txt | Select-String -Pattern "SHA256 hash of the zip file is"
   $hash = $line -replace ".*SHA256 hash of the zip file is ", ""
   (Get-FileHash ./sld-portable-package.zip).Hash -eq $hash
   

   This sequence must return TRUE.

   Verify the PC Identifier zip file:

   $line = Get-Content -Path pack-pc-identifier.txt | Select-String -Pattern "SHA256 hash of the zip file is"
   $hash = $line -replace ".*SHA256 hash of the zip file is ", ""
   (Get-FileHash ./pc-identifier-portable-package.zip).Hash -eq $hash
   

   This sequence must return TRUE.

   Finally, perform the validation steps for the .NET Runtime installer documented by Microsoft.

2. Install the .NET Runtime.

3. Install the PC Identifier zip file:

   Expand-Archive ./pc-identifier-portable-package.zip -DestinationPath ./bin-pc-identifier
   ./bin-pc-identifier/install.cmd
   

   Afterwards, the zip file and the bin-pc-identifier folder can be deleted.

4. Install the Software Loader zip file:

   Expand-Archive ./sld-portable-package.zip -DestinationPath ./bin-sld
   ./bin-sld/sld.cmd --version
   

After these installations you can start the Software Loader with ./bin-sld/sld.cmd to execute its various commands:

./bin-sld/sld.cmd load --input my-app.app --target 192.168.0.1 --restart --accept-security-disclaimer
