    Security & Privacy

    • Installer requires system-level privileges.
    • Does not require internet for basic features, but some components check for updates.
    • Use only official downloads to avoid tampered installers.
    • Locate the downloaded AWCC installer (it should be in your "Downloads" folder).
    • Double-click on the installer to run it.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
    • File Bloat: The installer is surprisingly large (often over 200MB).
    • Installation Speed: The installation process is notoriously slow. Unlike most software that installs in seconds, AWCC often takes several minutes to "configure" and install framework dependencies (like Microsoft Visual C++ redistributables).
    • The "Clean Install" Requirement: The biggest pain point is that you cannot simply "update" the software over an old version if things are broken. To get a stable experience with a build like 5580, users are frequently forced to manually uninstall the old version, delete registry keys, and reinstall the new one. The download page does not make this clear enough.
