Dynamic GUI — local helper (Python-first)
=========================================

Demo and model packages do NOT include an .exe. Many corporate PCs block
downloaded executables. Start the helper with Python instead.

GoldSim demos
-------------
1. Install GoldSim Player 15 (if needed)
   https://www.goldsim.com/Web/Customers/Downloads/Player/

2. Install 64-bit Python 3.14 (required by GSPy)
   https://www.python.org/downloads/

3. Unzip the model package, open Command Prompt in that folder, run:

      py -3.14 local_agent.py

   Leave that window open. The cabin status bar should show
   "Desktop Helper: online".

4. Open the demo → Setup if prompted → Run.

Python-only demos
-----------------
Same idea, any recent Python is fine:

      python local_agent.py

Signed Desktop Helper.exe (optional, separate project)
------------------------------------------------------
A tray installer is planned for IT-approved / Authenticode-signed distribution.
It will NOT ship inside demo zips. See desktop_helper/FOLLOW_ON.md.
