WinBoxURI

Launcher for winbox:// links on macOS and Windows. It forwards the URI payload to the installed WinBox binary.

URI format

winbox://user:password@host:port/workspace

What it does

• parses user, password, host, port, and workspace
• launches /Applications/WinBox.app/Contents/MacOS/WinBox
• passes arguments as:

connect-to host[:port] username password workspace

Windows

On Windows, the MSI installs only the handler bootstrapper. When launched by the installer, the bootstrapper always refreshes %LOCALAPPDATA%\WinBoxURI\WinBox.exe from the official MikroTik download page, registers winbox://, and creates a Start Menu shortcut called WinBox.

Use:

.\Sources\windows\bootstrap\Install-WinBoxURI.ps1

To remove the handler:

.\Sources\windows\bootstrap\Install-WinBoxURI.ps1 -Uninstall

MSI scaffolding lives in Sources/windows/installer.

Build

chmod +x build.sh
./build.sh
open dist/WinBoxURI-1.0.1.dmg

Install

Open the DMG, drag WinBoxURI.app into Applications, then launch it once to register the winbox:// handler.

The build outputs live in dist/ and are ignored by git.
