* Download PsTools from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec
* Run PowerToys installer with psexec tool `psexec.exe -sid <path_to_installer_exe`
* Brief check if all modules are working
* PER-USER and PER-MACHINE TESTS:
* Install **previous version** on a clean machine and update with new per-machine version. Ensure that it is installed in Program files and that registry entries are under **HKLM**/Software/Classes/PowerToys. Go trhough different modules and ensure that they are working correctly.
* Try installing per-user version over already installed per-machine version and ensure that proper error message is shown.
* Remove PowerToys and install per-user version. Ensure that it is installed in <APPDATA>/Local/PowerToys and that registry entries are under **HKCU**/Software/Classes/PowerToys. Go trhough different modules and ensure that they are working correctly.
* Create a new user and install per-user version there as well. Go trhough different modules and ensure that they are working correctly. Ensure that changing settings for one user does not change settings of other user.
## Localization
