Windows SmartScreen warns about the installer
When you run the RigReady installer, Windows may show a blue box, "Windows protected your PC", and no Run button. This is SmartScreen, and it says only one thing: the file is not signed with a certificate Windows knows.
RigReady's installer is not code-signed yet. Signing needs a certificate and is a separate decision; until it is made, SmartScreen warns on first run.
What to do
- Make sure the file came from the project's own download page or its releases page on GitHub, and nowhere else. The release page lists the installer with its size.
- In the SmartScreen box, choose More info, then Run anyway.
- The installer runs without asking for administrator rights: it installs for your user only, under
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\RigReady, and never offers "for all users". If you see a Windows prompt for administrator permission, stop: that is not RigReady's installer.

Updates
Updates are the same installer run quietly by RigReady itself after you confirmed, or when you quit. See updates.
