## Install tests
* install a **previous version** on a clean machine (a clean machine doesn't have the `%localappdata%\Microsoft\PowerToys` folder)
* open the Settings and for each module change at least one option
* open the FancyZones editor and create two custom layouts:
* a canvas layout with 2 zones, use unicode chars in the layout's name
* one from grid template using 4 zones and splitting one zone
* apply the custom canvas layout to the primary desktop
* create a virtual desktop and apply the custom grid layout
* if you have a second monitor apply different templates layouts for the primary desktop and for the second virtual desktop
* install the new version (it will uninstall the old version and install the new version)
- [ ] verify the settings are preserved and FancyZones configuration is still the same
- [ ] test installing as SYSTEM (LocalSystem account)
* 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.
