VFT Configurator Installation

  1. The first step to installing the VFT Configurator is to download the VftSetup.msi file below.  Since my company is new, you may get warnings about downloading the file.  It is an executable that makes changes to your computer by installing the software.  It is not dangerous, but the major web browsers and Windows do not know that yet, so they will most likely warn you against downloading it.
  2. Once downloaded, double click on the file to open the installation wizard.  Again, windows may attempt to prevent you from installing because it does not yet trust the software.  I'm working on solving that, but it is a two pronged issue that requires a code-signing certificate, which I have applied for, and reputation establishment over time that it is safe, which is something that can only be resolved by use.  
  3. If, Windows blocks the installation, you will need to bypass it.  If the popup that displays has a button that says "Run Anyway", click that and you should be good. 
  4. If it does not, you will need to close the popup, then right click on the executable and select "Properties".
  5. Check the Unblock checkbox and then click "Apply".  You should now be safe to double click and install the software.
