+  - When you try to launch the installer, it is likely that Windows Defender will throw up a blue "Windows protected your PC" message with a ''**Don't run**'' button.  In order to remove this message, developers have to pay a code signing authority more than $200 every year.  I don't make any money with iRacing-TV, so that is not going to happen.  To bypass this message, first click on the ''**More info**'' link.  \\  \\  {{ :installer:windows-protection-1.png?direct&400 |Windows Defender page 1}} \\
+  - On the next blue Windows Defender screen you will see a ''**Run anyway**'' button.  Click on that button only if you downloaded the installer from this website.  If you did not download it from this website, or you do not trust me, then don't install this app.  \\  \\  {{ :installer:windows-protection-2.png?direct&400 |Windows Defender page 2}} \\

   - Next, you need to select the name of the start menu folder to place the iRacing-TV application shortcut icons into. Click ''**Next**'' to continue.  \\  \\  {{ :installer:installer-page-2.png?direct&400 |Installer page 2}} \\
   - The final choice you need to make is whether or not you want desktop icons to be created. Click ''**Next**'' to continue. \\ \\ {{ :installer:installer-page-3.png?direct&400 |Installer page 3}} \\
