* Do '''not''' have LaunchBox/BigBox open while doing the steps.
* HOTR may work with the same sequence if you run its scripts instead ('''untested''' by author).
* Pre-reqs for consistent results:
** Add AV exclusions for the download location and temp folder (AV can quarantine files mid-download).
** Add an AV exclusion for the drive root or the scripts may be blocked when they run.
** Ensure COM ports are fixed and survive reboots; power on in a consistent order (PC first, then USB hub) with '''both''' guns attached.
** Keep both guns connected during boot and scripting to avoid mix-ups.
