## What it is
A native C++ installer application for setting up MediCat USB, a computer diagnostic and recovery toolkit, on a USB drive. It handles Ventoy installation, optional NTFS formatting, MediCat archive extraction, and MD5 verification, with both a dark-themed GUI and a CLI.

## Use cases
- install medicat usb toolkit on a flash drive
- create a bootable diagnostic and recovery usb stick
- install ventoy and extract medicat with checksum verification
- verify a medicat usb installation for corrupted files
- set up a rescue usb with partition, backup, and malware recovery tools
- script medicat usb installation from the command line

## When to choose
- you want to set up MediCat USB on Windows 10/11 or Linux without manual steps
- you need automated Ventoy installation plus archive extraction with MD5 verification
- you prefer a GUI but also want scriptable CLI flags like /install and /verify

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose bootable USB creator unrelated to MediCat
- you run a Windows Insider build, which may break the installer
- you need a signed or formally licensed binary - the repo has no license file
