You may find that you get messages such as this during the Windows

Security warning
Run only scripts that you trust. While scripts from the internet can be
useful, this script can potentially harm your computer. If you trust
this script, use the Unblock-File cmdlet to allow the script to run
without this warning message. Do you want to run

These prompts occur if Windows has marked the files as "blocked"
because they were downloaded from the Internet. To unblock all of
the files in the entire RomWBW distribution tree, start PowerShell
and navigate to the root of the distribution. Enter the following
command:
dir -recurse | unblock-file
This will unblock all files within the distribution and preclude the
security warning messages. Obviously, you should make sure you have
downloaded the RomWBW distribution from a valid/trustworthy source
before removing the file block protection.
