| + | **Windows users:** The current beta is built using a new code signing certificate that has not yet seen enough usage to be trusted by Microsoft. When you run the installer, you will probably be shown a dialog that says "Windows protected your PC", and the only button says "Don't run". But notice there is also a link in the upper left corner, saying "More info". Click on **"More info"**, and you'll see "Publisher: Zerene Systems LLC", and at the bottom of the dialog there's a new button "Run anyway". Click on **"Run anyway"** to install the Zerene Stacker beta. (After enough uses, Microsoft will learn to trust this certificate and not require the workaround. Thank you for your assistance!) | ||
