Unsigned Installers

[trevorboydsmith]

the most recent version 1.0.2 installer is not signed and when you install under windows 10 you get a popup complaining about "unknown" source.

if possible it might be good to add "signing" of the code as an additional step for your build on windows 10.

(personally this is low priority. I personally do not have issues clicking "ok" when presented with a dialog from windows 10 complaining about unsigned code but other users may.)

if signing the code is too bothersome somehow, then maybe providing an md5sum hash that users can use to check against.

Is a signed license something that just needs to be funded? As in purchasing a certificate or certificate granting autorization? If that is the case we mostly just need to know how much it would cost to consider whether to move forward.

MacOS has the same issue. This has to turn off some users over fears of security risks. It also makes it a little bit more of a hassle to install.

On the mac side, to release a signed app, you need to be part of the Apple Developer Program. There's a $99 yearly fee. The fee can be waived in some cases. It would certainly be worth it to apply for the waiver in case we qualify.
