VPL3TeacherTools is a self-contained server for VPL3 and the teacher tools. It
creates a single data file with all the pupils and program data,
"vplserver-db.sqlite", and a preference file, "vplserver-prefs.json". Both are
located in your home directory, typically C:\Users\username. You can use
%USERPROFILE% in a shell or directly in the address bar of the File Explorer).

For security reasons, Windows is more and more restrictive with which
applications it accepts to run. This is usually a good thing. As a development
version, VPL3TeacherTools is not signed. If you trust it (if you trust its
provenance and if it was served encrypted over https), you can accept all
questions.

To install:

- Unless you're sure to already have done it or you've installed Visual Studio,
download https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe and double-click it to
install Microsoft libraries required by VPL3TeacherTools.

- Double-click the .msi file and proceed until the end.

Shortcuts named "VPL3 Teacher Tools" will be created in the Start menu and on
the Desktop.

To uninstall, open the .msi file again; you'll be asked whether you want to
repair it or remove it.
