Install and Update EZ Tools¶

Prepare supported runtimes¶

Current GUI releases require the documented .NET Desktop Runtime; compatible CLI builds may use the supported .NET Framework release. Verify current requirements before downloading and record every installed runtime.

Retrieve the tool collection¶

Use the official EZ Tools page and Get-ZimmermanTools in an authorised lab. Record retrieval time, script hash, destination, selected runtime flavour and resulting tool versions.

.\Get-ZimmermanTools.ps1 -Dest 'C:\Tools\Zimmerman Tools\' -NetVersion 9

Launch tools predictably¶

Prefer explicit executable paths or recorded shortcuts. If local procedure requires PATH, add only the required versioned directories and verify which binary resolves in a new terminal.

Avoid version ambiguity

Installing every runtime flavour and adding several directories to PATH can resolve the wrong executable. Record Get-Command <tool> and the tool's reported version for every case workflow.
