========================================================================

Thank you for downloading HugeDiff!
This document contains system requirements, installation instructions, 
and important notices. Please review it before using the application.


------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1. System Requirements]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* OS: Windows 10 / Windows 11 (64-bit)
* Dependencies: None
  * This is distributed as a self-contained application. There is no need 
    to install the .NET Runtime separately. It runs out of the box after 
    extracting.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Extract the downloaded ZIP archive to any directory of your choice.
2. Double-click "HugeDiff.exe" (or "HugeDiff-x.x.x.exe") to launch.
   * No system registry modifications are made.

■ Windows SmartScreen Warning (First Launch)
Because this software is built by an independent developer and is not 
digitally signed with an expensive enterprise certificate, Windows may 
display a blue "Windows protected your PC" screen on first launch.
This is standard Windows security behavior for new unsigned executables.
To launch the app:
  1. Click "More info" on the dialog.
  2. Click the "Run anyway" button in the bottom right corner.


------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3. Uninstallation]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simply delete the extracted "HugeDiff" folder.
* To completely remove saved user settings (window position, themes, etc.), 
  delete the application's folder located under your user AppData directory:
  %LOCALAPPDATA%\HugeDiff  (or %APPDATA%\HugeDiff)


------------------------------------------------------------------------
