Windows installer
The usual choice. Installs for your Windows account without an administrator, lets you choose the folder, and offers each new version in the app.

Windows MSI package
For IT-managed rollouts. Installs once for every user on the machine. It does not update itself: IT installs each new version.

- Install
- Open the .exe and follow the prompts. The app starts when the installer finishes.
- Updates
- The app checks for a new version shortly after it starts and every four hours, and offers it in the app. The MSI is the exception: IT installs each version.
- Check the file
- Right-click the .exe, choose Properties, then Digital Signatures: the signer is AVMDEVS LLC. Its SHA-512 is the sha512 line in latest.yml, published beside it, while that file's version line reads 5.0.0. To compare, open PowerShell in the folder you saved the file to and run this line; it prints the same value when the file is intact.

Rolling it out to a team?
On Windows, the MSI installs once for every user on a machine. What the tracker records is set in the workspace, read from the server on every launch, and cannot be raised from the desktop.
