add vcxsrv script

[jashlu]

Hi all, this PR includes the vcxsrv script that will automate the configs requried for VcXsrv. Also included is the updated README with instructions on running this script.

The same changes have been applied to the maint/pre-hnn-core PR.

Open to any suggestions/comments! Thanks

[jashlu]

This looks good to me, but I'm not in a position to approve this – that's something for the lab members to do!

But your insight/comments are nevertheless valuable! Thanks for taking a look

hi @ntolley – is this good to merge or do we need to do more here?

[ntolley]

Apologies @hollandjg testing this script got lost on my to-do list after the holiday break

@dylansdaniels can we sit together to test out this script on your windows machine?

[dylansdaniels]

@ntolley Yes we can definitely do that. I mostly copied/pasted the instructions from this file anyway when I recently tested install on my machine, but i was doing it line by line since i didn't have the file locally. I only deviated from the instructions in that I copied the IP address manually.

Where are we at on this @dylansdaniels @ntolley? We should get this merged soon to aid in installation for users who still need to use the old GUI.

[ntolley]

@rythorpe apologies Dylan and I sat down several times to hammer out installation instructions but got distracted with formatting screenshots for the installation webpage.

@dylansdaniels is it possible for you to test this during the hackathon?

[dylansdaniels]

Yeah sure! I can bring both of my laptops for the hackathon so we have one for any windows testing we need

[jasmainak]

do we have a list of issues we want to tackle? we could create a project board ...
