Install ITSDU on Windows

Windows may show a SmartScreen confirmation the first time you run the installer because ITSDU is not code-signed yet. This does not mean the app is malicious — it just means Windows does not yet recognize the publisher.

Steps

  1. Open the downloads page

    Go to the desktop downloads page.

  2. Download the Windows installer

    Download the .exe installer for the latest stable release:

    ITSDU-Windows-0.1.7-Setup.exeDownload
  3. Open the installer

    Find the .exe in your Downloads folder and double-click it to launch the installer.

  4. If you see “Windows protected your PC”

    SmartScreen may show a blue dialog about an unrecognized publisher. To continue:

    • Click More info
    • Click Run anyway
  5. Continue through the installer

    Follow the on-screen instructions. The installer will copy ITSDU to your machine and create shortcuts.

  6. Launch ITSDU

    Open ITSDU from the Start menu or your desktop shortcut. You're done.

Leave SmartScreen on

You only need to allow ITSDU once if you trust the source. Leave SmartScreen on for everything else — it protects you from genuine threats.

Troubleshooting

I don't see “Run anyway”

Some managed devices — for example school or work laptops — block unsigned apps through admin policy. SmartScreen will hide the “Run anyway” option in that case.

If that's your situation, try installing ITSDU on a personal device, or ask your device administrator to allow it.

The installer won't open

The download may have been interrupted or blocked. Re-download the installer from the official downloads page or directly from the GitHub release linked there.

Windows says the app is unknown or untrusted

That's expected for now. ITSDU is not yet code-signed, so Windows doesn't recognize the publisher. Once code signing is in place this message will go away. Until then, “More info” → “Run anyway” is the right step if you trust the source.

My antivirus flagged the installer

Some antivirus products treat unsigned installers as suspicious by default. Re-download from the official source and verify it matches the file linked on the downloads page. If you're still uncertain, hold off and report it on GitHub.

Stay safe

Only download ITSDU from itsdu.danielz.dev or the official GitHub releases linked from the downloads page. Don't install files shared through random links or re-uploaded elsewhere.

Still need help?

Open an issue on GitHub if something isn't covered here. Include your Windows version and any message you saw — it makes things much easier to diagnose.
