Windows x64

We recommend configuring the runner in a root folder of the Windows drive (e.g. "C:\actions-runner"). This will help avoid issues related to service identity folder permissions and long file path restrictions on Windows

// Create a folder under the drive root
mkdir \actions-runner ; cd \actions-runner
// Download the latest runner package
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://github.com/actions/runner/releases/download/v2.169.1/actions-runner-win-x64-2.169.1.zip -OutFile actions-runner-win-x64-2.169.1.zip
// Extract the installer
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.IO.Compression.FileSystem ; 
[System.IO.Compression.ZipFile]::ExtractToDirectory("$PWD\actions-runner-win-x64-2.169.1.zip", "$PWD")
