 DTijarat 1.0.0 -- Portable Edition for Windows
 ByteLync Technologies
================================================================


INSTALLATION (5 steps -- please follow in order)
------------------------------------------------

1. BEFORE EXTRACTING the downloaded ZIP file:
      RIGHT-CLICK the ZIP   ->   Properties
      At the bottom of the General tab, check "Unblock"
      Click OK.

   This step is REQUIRED on Windows 10/11. It tells Windows
   the file is safe and prevents Smart App Control from blocking
   the launcher.

2. EXTRACT the ZIP to a permanent location.
      Recommended:  C:\DTijarat

   For best results, use 7-Zip (https://www.7-zip.org) -- the
   built-in Windows extractor sometimes copies the "blocked"
   flag onto every file inside, even after step 1.

3. (OPTIONAL but recommended) Double-click
      Install-Shortcuts.bat
   inside the extracted DTijarat folder. It creates a desktop
   shortcut and a Start Menu entry. No admin rights needed.

4. Double-click  DTijarat.exe  to launch the app.

5. On the very first launch, DTijarat will show you the
   End-User License Agreement and ask for your consent to
   each optional data-sharing feature. Read it and choose
   what you want to allow.


FIRST-RUN LOGIN
---------------

   Username:  admin
   Password:  admin123

Please change this password immediately from
   Admin Panel  ->  Users
after first login.


WHERE IS MY DATA STORED?
------------------------

DTijarat stores ALL your business data (database, config,
logs) here:

   %APPDATA%\BillKaro\
   (typically C:\Users\<your-name>\AppData\Roaming\BillKaro\)

   DTijarat was called BillKaro before. The data folder keeps
   that name on purpose, so every upgrade finds your existing
   shop data, licence and settings.

The program folder is read-only after installation -- it
holds only the app code. This means:

   * You can move the DTijarat folder anywhere; your data
     follows your Windows user account, not the folder.
   * Uninstalling does NOT delete your business data.
   * Backups should target %APPDATA%\BillKaro\billkaro.db
     (or use Admin -> Backup -> Export Database).


UPGRADING TO A NEW VERSION
--------------------------

1. Close DTijarat.
2. Make a quick backup of  %APPDATA%\BillKaro\billkaro.db
   (just in case).
3. Delete the old program folder (DTijarat, or BillKaro if
   you are upgrading from BillKaro).
4. Extract the new version's ZIP to the same location.
5. Run Install-Shortcuts.bat again -- it also removes old
   BillKaro shortcuts.
6. Re-launch -- your data is preserved.


UNINSTALLING
------------

To remove shortcuts and the app folder:
   Double-click  Uninstall.bat  inside this folder.
   Then delete the DTijarat folder itself.

To ALSO delete your business data (cannot be undone):
   Delete  %APPDATA%\BillKaro\


WHY A PORTABLE BUILD INSTEAD OF AN INSTALLER?
---------------------------------------------

This release ships as a self-contained folder, not a Windows
.msi/.exe installer. Recent Windows builds (Smart App Control)
block unsigned installers; a portable folder is unaffected.
A signed installer is on our roadmap.
