But good idea anyway.\r\n\r\n@elextr what hashes do we need? We have MD5 and SHA256 of the installer binary on download.geany.org, additionally the installer and all binaries included (except MSYS2 provided, sort.exe and grep.exe) are digitally signed using a Microsoft tool, those signatures can easily be verified with Windows Explorer.\r\n\r\n@psccox any chance to execute the installer and check whether Windows Defender will then complain about a particular file included in the installer? This would require a somewhat safe, isolated Windows system or just trusting us."}}
