How would you suggest installing it on Windows 11? #18

Hi there! Thanks this is sooooo stress relieving. Was wondering how you recommend installing on Windows 11 to have your tray icon always available with 3-finger drags active?

Also a couple points that might help the Readme.md:

  1. You have to disable the default 3-finger swipe functions via Touchpad settings for the drag to work (obvious but it does not occur to non-Windows users)
  2. The exec command for DLL path was a little different for me:
dotnet exec .\bin\Debug\net6.0-windows\win-x64\ThreeFingersDragOnWindows.dll

Thanks again. Can't tell you how useful this little project is for people addicted to 3 finger drags.

Hi @akarasulu,

there is a .exe installer in the github release. If you want to make your own release, you can execute: dotnet publish --self-contained false

Then, the app will be in .\bin\Debug\net6.0-windows\win-x64\publish\

You have to keep together all of the files:

You can copy these files in a directory into Program Files and create shortcuts to the executable in your application's shortcuts directory.

You can also make your own executable using Inno Setup and the configuration file in the repo.

I just updated the Readme so it is more clear now!
