Yep. I'm not paying the exorbitant ransom to make the overly-paranoid "unknown installer from the internet" message that Windows loves to scare/intimidate their users with go away.

Then on top of that, they make the process to tell Windows to, "shut up, I know what I'm doing" convoluted and terribly unintuitive for beginners and experienced users alike.

Once enough people have downloaded it, Windows will lighten up. If not, enough people aren't downloading it to warrant stressing over it anyway.

The irony is that I started deploying PageEdit as a simple self-extracting zip archive that bypassed all of the extra Windows installer paranoia, but nooooooo .... people insisted on wanting/needing an installer. Careful what you wish for I guess.
