Installing on Windows
The latest SpaceEye releases for Windows are not signed, and will require extra installation steps to get around browser and Microsoft SmartScreen warnings. I can assure you that the Windows version of this app is effectively the same in functionality as the Mac version, which has been manually verified by Apple.
This process will be less painful in the future, once I can obtain a cert and get the app listed in the Microsoft Store.
Note: if you use a browser that is not listed and you get a warning when downloading, please create an issue. In the meantime, look at tutorials for other browsers; the process will likely be similar for yours.
