Run modes

• LoadTeam.exe – normal app window (interactive)
• LoadTeam.exe --mode console – live progress in the terminal
• LoadTeam.exe --mode headless – hidden background process
• LoadTeam.exe --mode service – Windows service (needs admin to install)

1. Extract and configure

The zip contains LoadTeam.exe and everything it needs – the same self-contained payload the installer downloads. Extract it anywhere and run the binary directly (no installer):

Expand-Archive LoadTeam_Windows_*.zip -DestinationPath loadteam
cd loadteam

The non-interactive modes can't pop up a window to ask for your secret key, so set it first: edit LoadTeam.ini next to LoadTeam.exe (copy LoadTeam.sample.ini if needed) containing:

apikey=YOUR_SECRET_KEY

Alternatively pass --api-key YOUR_SECRET_KEY on the command line.

2. Run as a Windows service

Registers a proper machine-wide service (runs as LocalSystem, starts automatically at boot, runs whether or not anyone is signed in). This needs administrator rights, so run these from an elevated Command Prompt or PowerShell (right-click → “Run as administrator”):

LoadTeam.exe --mode service --install
sc.exe start LoadTeam

To stop and remove the service later:

LoadTeam.exe --mode service --uninstall

The service is named LoadTeam. It restarts itself automatically if it stops unexpectedly.

3. Headless or console mode

Prefer to run LoadTeam under your own account instead of as a service? Run it hidden (headless) or with live progress in a terminal (console):

LoadTeam.exe --mode headless
LoadTeam.exe --mode console

To start one of these automatically when you sign in, put a shortcut to LoadTeam.exe (with the --mode headless argument) in your Startup folder – press Win+R, run shell:startup, and drop the shortcut there.
