See https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/managing-self-hosted-runners/adding-self-hosted-runners for basic instructions.
+A Hyper-V "Quick Create" of a `Windows 11 dev environment` can give you a head start when setting up an instance for testing purposes.
+
Beyond the basic install, I needed to:
* Install git using `winget install git.git`
-* Install 7-zip using `winget install 7zip.7zip` (note: this may no longer be necessary due to the use of xrepo to install `7z`)
* Install VS Pro using the instructions in [README.md](/README.md)
* Enable scripting using `Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted` in an admin PowerShell instance
* In the same admin PowerShell instance, disable firewall with `netsh advfirewall set currentprofile state off` to allow tests to run without firewall popups (TODO: research better options here as this does not seem ideal)
+* Remember to close the Terminal window after installing the above and open a new window to invoke `run.cmd`
