Had the same message,
I believe its a windows exe issue, that is well known about , but I could be wrong however :slight_smile:

Would you provide a complete quote of the message, or a screenshot?

When I dowloaded the 3.5.4 i had the same “warning” window from the system. I just allowed the permissions to download and execute Vassal.

Thanks Gabriel. That seems to have worked.

Yes, all Vassal installs are blocked by Windows by default. Something about “unverified” source or something. You should just allow it to procede.

BTW, the same applies to this forum: whenever you need to log back in it tells you that your pw could be intercepted. The Vassal webmaster should consider switching to https for account related procedures, perhaps.

That’s already planned for the next time I upgrade the system.
