FAQ - Installation/Suspicious

Windows warns me when downloading that the downloaded file may be dangerous. Is that correct?

What is not verified/verifyable by Windows is considered potentially dangerous by Windows. Unknown makes unloved. In this case you can safely ignore these warnings.

Click 'Show more' in the warning, and then 'Keep anyway'

The download file is then released for execution: 'Open file'. Then Windows asks whether you really want a program to be installed. So yes...

One last hurdle to go before the installation can be started. Windows UAC (User Account Control) also wants to be reassured. After 'Yes' the MusiCAD installation can start.

When downloading the latest (beta) version of MusiCAD, I receive a message that the download may be unreliable... What should I do with that?

Ignore...

It takes a while before Google/Microsoft/Virus scanners mark a new version as sufficiently reliable. You can therefore simply ignore the message.
