Step-by-Step Guide

Step One: Download the Setup Executable

Step Two: Browser Security

Because RWE Labs is a small development team, it is not financially viable to sign our packages with digital certification. For this reason, Windows Smartscreen as well as most popular browsers will flag the application as "Not commonly downloaded" or as a program that "could harm your device".

Please Note: Some screenshots and instructions that follow may vary depending on your version of Windows and the browser you are using.

You may encounter the following warning in your browser when you attempt to download the setup executable:

You should now be able to open the application straight from your browser by clicking on the download in your downloads bar. Alternatively, navigate to your downloads folder (or where you specified to save the file if prompted) where you should find the application.

You may also receive a second warning depending on your browser, reminding you that the app "may harm your device". Simply click "Show More" and "Keep Anyway" if this happens.

If you have time, we'd appreciate if you could also "Report this app as safe" - as this will help reduce these warnings on other users' computers.
