VerizonAgent — Windows Setup Guide
====================================

REQUIREMENTS
------------
- Windows 10 or Windows 11 (Home or Pro)
- Internet connection (Verizon MiFi or any connection)
- Google Chrome installed

INSTALLATION
------------
1. Download VerizonAgent-Setup.zip from the setup page.
2. Right-click the zip and choose "Extract All". Extract to C:\VerizonAgent\.
3. Inside the extracted folder, double-click setup_service.bat.
4. A setup window will appear. It will:
     a. Find or install Python automatically
     b. Install all required packages
     c. Register the agent to start at Windows login (no Task Scheduler needed)
     d. Start the agent right now in the background
5. The window will close on its own when done.
6. Check agent.log to confirm the agent is running.

HOW IT WORKS
------------
The setup creates a file in your Windows Startup folder:
  %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\VerizonAgent.vbs

This tiny script runs silently in the background every time you log in.
No Command Prompt window, no Task Scheduler, no admin rights needed.

VERIFY IT IS RUNNING
--------------------
- Check the green status light on the Verizon Agent section of the tools page.
- Open agent.log in C:\VerizonAgent\ — you should see heartbeat lines.

UNINSTALL
---------
Run remove_service.bat to delete the auto-start entry and stop the agent.

TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------
- Check setup_log.txt in the agent folder for detailed setup output.
- Check agent.log for runtime errors.
- If the agent shows as offline after setup, try logging out and back in
  to Windows to trigger the startup script.
- If Chrome checks show "server" results, ensure the agent shows Online
  on the tools page before running a Chrome check.
