Description

When installing Processing on Windows 10, the installer name appears as a random string (e.g. 75b922b0.msi) in the User Account Control prompt instead of something identifiable like processing-4.4.4-windows-x64.msi. This can be confusing or raise concerns for users about the legitimacy of the installer.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Download the official Windows installer from the Processing website.
  2. Run the .msi file.
  3. Observe the UAC prompt. The filename is not descriptive.

Expected behavior:

The installer should retain its original filename so users can verify what they are installing.
