# When you try to run the SkyTemple installer, Windows Security will delete it and complain. Go to Windows Security -> Protection History, find the SkyTemple installer, and click Action -> Allow. This will let the installer stay the next time you download it.
# Download the installer again, and this time you will be able to install SkyTemple. On the big red Security popup that thinks it's something horrible, click "Install Anyway".
# Once installed, Windows Security will quarantine the SkyTemple executable. Go to Windows Security -> Protection History, find the quarantined SkyTemple, and click Action -> Restore.
By following these steps, you should be able to properly install SkyTemple on Windows.
