DOCUMENTATION · WINDOWS

Start without guessing.

This guide includes only steps supported by available artifacts and testing. The current release is Void Scriptor Studio 1.2.0-rc.2, a release candidate for Windows x64, not a stable release.

01 · DOWNLOAD & VERIFY

Use an installer with a clear source.

Download only from the canonical domain voidscriptor.com. The SHA-256 checksum detects changed or corrupted files; the checksum alone does not prove provenance or a publisher signature.

Text fallback readable without JavaScript:

Open checksum manifest

PowerShell: run this from the folder where the installer is stored.

Get-FileHash .\VoidScriptor-1.2.0-rc.2-windows-x64-setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256

The Hash value must exactly match the manifest. If it differs, do not run the installer; preserve the evidence and use the bug report form.

Maintainer verification: the repository provides checksum and Authenticode checks in one step.

pwsh -File tools/verify-release.ps1 -InstallerPath ./VoidScriptor-1.2.0-rc.2-windows-x64-setup.exe -ManifestPath ./release-manifests/VoidScriptor-1.2.0-rc.2-windows-x64.sha256

A result of SignatureStatus: Valid only means the signature can be verified. RC.2 still uses a self-issued certificate, so the publisher is not trusted by SmartScreen.

02 · INSTALLATION

Install and remove it through Windows.

Run the installer

Open VoidScriptor-1.2.0-rc.2-windows-x64-setup.exe after the checksum matches. The installer uses the default Windows location and offers an optional shortcut.

If SmartScreen appears

RC.2 has a timestamped Authenticode signature that passed a local audit, but its certificate is self-issued and is not yet a publisher identity trusted by SmartScreen. SmartScreen may still show a warning. Verify the source and checksum before deciding in the Windows dialog.

Uninstall

Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Void Scriptor → Uninstall, or run Uninstall Void Scriptor from the Start Menu. Project documents and user data should not be removed without a manual check.

03 · PORTABLE / ZIP

Do not mix the two distribution formats.

Portable ZIP is not provided for RC.2.

The last audited portable artifact was marked RC.1: 34,496,233 bytes, SHA-256 1a13bbeaf1e2af1401690004cc4a34ad8f4a9e3e2b8377a0587fe79805ac071f, 497 members (494 matching payloads in CHECKSUMS.txt, plus BACA-SAYA.txt, CHECKSUMS.txt, and codesign.pub). Its public download has not been republished, so this page no longer offers a ZIP download button.

The RC.1 archive fingerprint can still be checked through the ZIP checksum manifest.

If you have an RC.1 portable archive from a trusted copy, verify its sibling .zip.sha256 hash, extract the entire folder, then run Release\void_scriptor.exe. Do not run the executable from inside the ZIP or separate the DLL/data files. Portable documentation is separate from installer documentation because the distribution flows differ.

04 · REQUIREMENTS

Official minimum requirements have not been published.

The following configuration is a real test configuration measured for local evidence; it is not an official minimum requirement and does not promise compatibility with every device.

Test OS: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit
Test CPU: Intel Core i5-4570 · 4 logical/physical cores
Test RAM: 32 GiB installed
Test GPU: AMD Radeon RX590 GME
Official minimum: Not established
Disk space: Not established as a requirement

05 · DATA & CONNECTIONS

Know what stays local.

Application data

Sign-in status and error reports are stored in the Windows application support folder (the technical component is named path_provider), inside VoidScriptor\state and VoidScriptor\diagnostics\crash. The folder location may vary according to Windows configuration.

Projects

If you do not choose a location yourself, the main project folder is in Documents, inside VoidScriptor\Projects. Your chosen location is the primary reference; if the drive is unavailable, the application tells you that a fallback location is being used.

Sign-in & Byte connection

The website uses GitHub or Google for sign-in. The session cookie only helps keep you signed in and does not contain a password. The optional Byte connection runs only on your computer at 127.0.0.1:8766 and accepts requests from permitted origins. Do not copy tokens, cookies, or secrets into a report.
