## 🎉 What's Still Automatic
These features were already working and still work:
1.**SQL files auto-included** - The `sql/` folder from build output
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.
