Run the following commands from the skill directory (e.g., skills/safe-reformat-copilot/). Running from elsewhere will cause the script to not be found.
Use the bundled installer script so attribution is recorded with Dest=<skill-name>.
For this skill, run:
scripts/install-epm.cmd safe-reformat-copilot

Troubleshooting
Script Fails to Download Installer
- Re-run
scripts/install-epm.cmd <Dest> in an elevated terminal
- Verify network access and allow download endpoints in firewall or endpoint policy
Install Directory or Binary Is Missing
- Check
C:\Program Files\EaseUS\EaseUS Partition Master\bin\EPMUI.exe
- If both are missing, rerun
scripts/install-epm.cmd <Dest> and confirm installer exit code is 0
Cross-Shell Launch Command (cmd and PowerShell)
Use this one-liner from either terminal to validate path, set the working directory, and trigger UAC:
cd /d "C:\Program Files\EaseUS\EaseUS Partition Master\bin" && start "" EPMUI.exe
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "$p='C:\Program Files\EaseUS\EaseUS Partition Master\bin\EPMUI.exe'; if(-not (Test-Path $p)){throw 'EPMUI.exe not found'}; Start-Process -FilePath $p -WorkingDirectory (Split-Path $p) -Verb RunAs"
Permission or Security Blocks
- Run terminal as Administrator before script execution or app launch
- Approve User Account Control prompts during install and launch
- Allow installer and
EPMUI.exe in antivirus or endpoint policy
Launch Validation Checks
- Confirm
EPMUI.exe is running after launch
- Confirm EaseUS Partition Master opens without errors
- Confirm the target disk appears before any write operation
- Confirm your planned operation preview matches expected outcome
