DayZ Platform Launcher — unsigned build

This installer is not code-signed. Windows SmartScreen / Defender may warn on first run.
That is expected for local/dev distributions.

Prereq: .NET 9 Desktop Runtime (x64)
  https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/9.0
  (Desktop Runtime — not the SDK)

Prefer the zip sideload path if you want to avoid the installer wizard:
  1. Install .NET 9 Desktop Runtime x64 (once)
  2. Unzip DayZPlatform-Launcher-*-win-x64.zip
  3. Run Setup-Sideload.ps1 (registers dayzplatform:// for your user)
  4. Open Settings → confirm API base URL (publish stamps launcher-defaults.json) → set player name → Force real launch → Join
  5. Workshop tab: scan local IDs, load selected server mods from the API, Ensure missing via Steamworks/SteamCMD

The zip is framework-dependent: app + Avalonia/Steam natives only (no bundled .NET).

No admin rights are required for per-user install or protocol registration.
