ENG 2. Installation

Media-Copytool is a PowerShell-script. That means that it is perfectly portable and extremely easy to install. However, it also means that you have to meet a few requirements:

Prerequisites:

• Windows >= XP (Robocopy and Xcopy are used)
  • For XP, you need the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools to get Robocopy. From Vista onwards, Robocopy should be included.
  • I am not sure if PowerShell Version >= 3 is supported on WinXP. If you cannot figure out a way to get it up and running on WinXP, then I fear that you won't be able to run the script.
• PowerShell >= Version 3
• For the GUI: .NET Framework >= 4.6
• Since v0.6: PoshRSJob - it is used to speed up Hash-operations.
  • Global installation: open PowerShell as administrator and run Install-Module -Name PoshRSJob.
  • Local installation: Download PoshRSJob's latest release as .zip and extract it inside the following folder structure in the same place as media_copytool.ps1 lies: .\Modules\PoshRSJob\<VERSION.NUMBER>\. If media_copytool.ps1's path is C:\MC\media_copytool.ps and PoshRSJob's most recent version is 1.2.3.4, then PoshRSJob.psm1 and the other files and folders have to go into C:\MC\Modules\PoshRSJob\1.2.3.4.
• Since 1.0.0: PSAlphaFS - see PoshRSJob for installation instructions.
• To use -ZipMirror (to create an archive in the additional output-path), 7-Zip is needed. The script will look for 7z.exe in its own path, but also in the usual installation folders of 7-Zip (both 32bit and 64bit). So a regular installation of 7-Zip will do.

Installing the script:

• Download the zip
• Extract all files to a folder
• Start the media_copytool.ps1-script.
