Installing

Extract the archive to a folder you can write to, for example C:\Users\you\Apps\Zycord.
Run Zycord.exe.
If Windows shows a SmartScreen warning, choose More info and then Run anyway.

There is no installer and no elevation prompt. The launcher runs as your user and writes only to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Zycord.

Upgrading and removing

To upgrade, extract the new version over the old folder. Settings, logs and prepared game files live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Zycord and are not touched.

To remove it, stop any running sessions, delete the folder you extracted, then delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\Zycord to remove settings, logs and prepared files.

Why SmartScreen warns. The executable is not signed with a code-signing certificate. Signing certificates cost money and identify a legal entity, and this project does not have one, so Windows cannot verify the publisher. If that matters to you, build from source instead. The documentation explains how, and the build uses only the compiler that ships with Windows.
