Antivirus or Windows warns about the installer
A brand new installer can be flagged by antivirus software or Windows before it builds up a reputation. It's a false positive: restore it and run it again.
Security software judges files partly by how many people have downloaded them before. A new plugin version is a brand new file, so antivirus programs and Windows sometimes flag it even though nothing is wrong with it. That's a false positive.
If your antivirus quarantined or deleted it
- Open your antivirus, find the installer in its quarantine and restore it, or add an exception for it.
- Run the installer again.
Windows and Chrome warnings
- Windows shows "Windows protected your PC": click More info, then Run anyway.
- Chrome says the file "isn't commonly downloaded": choose Keep.
Always download installers from your own Audio Spices account (sign in at audio-spices.com, open Account, then Downloads), never from another site. Drum Spice on Windows comes as an .msi installer:
