piqueserver-bootstrap v1.0.0
… is a script to install piqueserver on Windows effortlessly. It sets up Python, pip and the server itself with minimal user interaction.

Requirements
Windows 10 64-bit or newer. Other setups might work but are untested.
How to use
- Download the script below.
- Run.
- When you start the server, accept the Windows firewall popup if you get one.

How it works
This is a simple Windows batch file. Here are all the install steps, in order:
- Downloads and extracts embedded Python from python.org
- Installs pip from https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
- Installs piqueserver
- Copies the default piqueserver config
- Creates the start/update batch files
Everything is installed in the _python folder it creates, instead of system-wide. This is done for two reasons: it doesn’t require administrative privileges, and it prevents a possibly broken existing system-wide install from messing with the setup.
