Detailed procedure

  1. 1

    Right-click the downloaded installer, choose Properties, and confirm that its filename and size look complete

    Right-click the downloaded installer, choose Properties, and confirm that its filename and size look complete. If Windows shows an Unblock option for a trusted download, review the source before selecting it.

  2. 2

    Scan the file with Microsoft Defender by choosing Show more options, then Scan with Microsoft Defender

    Scan the file with Microsoft Defender by choosing Show more options, then Scan with Microsoft Defender. Do not bypass a malware detection.

  3. 3

    Start the installer

    Start the installer. Read the Windows security dialog carefully: check the application name, publisher information, and source before allowing it to run.

  4. 4

    A new certificate may still need time to build Microsoft SmartScreen reputation

    A new certificate may still need time to build Microsoft SmartScreen reputation. Use the official Exegis release link and published checksum when available to distinguish a reputation warning from a damaged file.

  5. 5

    Cancel if the filename, source, or publisher differs from the official release

    Cancel if the filename, source, or publisher differs from the official release. Download a fresh copy rather than continuing with an uncertain installer.

YOUR TURN

Practice assignment

Inspect the installer’s Properties and identify the details you should verify before running it.

If the screen looks different

  • Confirm that your installed Exegis version is 1.15.26 or later.
  • Look for the same control inside the navigation menu when using a narrow window or phone.
  • Confirm the active Bible, resource, passage, and theme before assuming content is missing.
  • Restart Exegis after an installation or resource change, then repeat the last verified step.
  • Use the official Contact page and include version, device, steps, expected result, and actual result.
