I've been working on an online game for a while now and I've recently decided that I want to share it with some of my friends for testing. Now I decided that I want to make an installer for it, just to make it easier/fancier to get the game. I originally wrote it in Java and used Launch4j and Inno Setup to make my setup.exe but when I initially run it, windows smartscreen thinks it could be dangerous since its "unknown". What should I do in order to prevent this from happening ???
Since Windows detect that the installer has an unknown origin, the Windows Defender Smartscreen blocks this kind of executable.
If you want to eliminate this problem, I suggest you to apply a digital signature with your information to the executable. In this case, Windows doesn't raise the Defender Smartscreen on its start.
