Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
Runs a remote script piped straight into PowerShell and claims to unlock paid Pro features for free, a pattern typical of pirated or unwanted software, verify before running.
This repository contains a PowerShell script that claims to install WPS Office Pro on Windows. WPS Office is a free office suite made by Kingsoft that includes a word processor (Writer), a spreadsheet tool (Spreadsheets), and a presentation tool (Presentation). The suite is designed to read and write files in Microsoft Office formats such as .docx and .xlsx, and it also includes PDF tools and cloud sync. The README provides a single PowerShell command that downloads and runs an installer script from a separate GitHub repository (not this one). According to the README, the script installs WPS Office without requiring administrator rights, activates the Pro license, and opens a sample document to verify compatibility. The troubleshooting section addresses two common issues: fonts rendering differently compared to Microsoft Office (there is a compatibility mode in WPS settings), and macro-enabled Excel files showing a warning on open (the fix requires lowering macro security settings in the application). The README is very short and the actual installer script lives in a different repository. The repository lists topics suggesting it is intended as an alternative to Microsoft Office. It claims an MIT license, though the software it installs (WPS Office) is a commercial product with its own licensing terms separate from this repository.
