QSEG POS App - Windows Installation Guide
================================================

Because the QSEG POS app is a custom internal tool, it is not code-signed with a commercial Microsoft code signing certificate.
As a result, Windows Defender "SmartScreen" may temporarily block the app from opening, saying "Windows protected your PC."

This is a standard Windows security feature for newly downloaded applications. You can easily allow the app to run by following these steps:

------------------------------------------------
STEP 1: Install the App
------------------------------------------------
1. Double-click the downloaded .msi or setup.exe file.
2. If Windows SmartScreen blocks it, proceed to Step 2.

------------------------------------------------
STEP 2: Bypass SmartScreen (One-time only)
------------------------------------------------
1. When the blue "Windows protected your PC" window appears, click on the **"More info"** text link directly under the warning text.
2. A new button will appear at the bottom right that says **"Run anyway"**.
3. Click **"Run anyway"**.

------------------------------------------------
STEP 3: Complete Installation
------------------------------------------------
1. Follow the standard Windows installation prompts to complete the setup.
2. You can now launch the QSEG POS App from your Start Menu or Desktop shortcut!

Welcome to QSEG POS!
