2.2 Microsoft Windows
---------------------
To run Zint Barcode Studio on Windows simply download and run the installation
executable and follow the instructions on-screen.
For Microsoft Windows, Zint is distributed as a binary executable. Simply
download the ZIP file, then right-click on the ZIP file and "Extract All". A
new folder will be created within which are two binary files:
qtZint.exe - Zint Barcode Studio
zint.exe - Command Line Interface
For fresh releases you will get a warning message from Microsoft Defender
SmartScreen that this is an "unrecognised app". This happens because Zint is
a free and open-source software project with no advertising and hence no
income, meaning we are not able to afford the $664 per year to have the
application digitially signed by Microsoft.
