Which file do I want?

• Installer (.exe) — installs into the machine, adds a Start-menu entry and an uninstaller. The default choice.
• Portable package (.zip) — unzip and run. The root holds CorkboardLauncher.exe, so you can carry it on a USB stick.
• full / light — full bundles the runtime and runs out of the box; light is smaller but needs the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime installed first.

First-run warnings you may see

Neither the installer nor the portable package is signed with a trusted code-signing certificate yet, so Windows SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC". Choose More info → Run anyway. It is not an error.

Release channels

• Stable — what most classrooms should run.
• Beta / Alpha — new work lands here first and may be rough.

Older versions are listed on GitHub Releases.
