2. ✅ Service installation - Windows Service setup
3. ✅ PostgreSQL wizard - Configuration page during install
4. ✅ Firewall rules - Automatic firewall exception
5. ✅ .NET check - Verifies .NET 11 runtime
6. ✅ Directory permissions - Proper ACLs on data folders

📝 Notes

SQL Files:

The SQL files in lib\Release\net11.0\sql\ are automatically included because the installer copies everything from that directory recursively. No special handling needed!

Documentation Format:

Documentation is copied as .txt files for easy viewing in Notepad. Markdown files are converted to .txt extension so users can read them without special tools.

PowerShell Scripts:

The scripts maintain their .ps1 extension and can be run directly from the Start Menu "Database Tools" shortcut.
