# LocalEndpoint Connect App Installer Lane

The recommended invited-test download is the single-EXE installer listed in
`/downloads/desktop/localendpoint-desktop-release.json`. It presents install,
update, repair, fresh-install, uninstall, and local-test certificate review in
one flow.

`LocalEndpoint.Connect.appinstaller` is an optional Windows App Installer lane
for LocalEndpoint Connect `0.2.242.0`. It points only to the immutable,
versioned MSIX bundle in this directory tree. Both files have SHA-256 evidence
in `/downloads/SHA256SUMS.txt` and adjacent sidecars.

## Risk Warning

This package is signed with the LocalEndpoint development certificate for
invited local testing. It is not production distribution signing. Windows App
Installer can install it only after that local-test certificate has been
reviewed and trusted on the test computer. Trusting a development certificate
changes which packages Windows will accept; use this lane only on a computer
you control and remove the trust when testing is complete.

The App Installer lane does not grant RemoteEndpoints authority. The Settings
surface presents RemoteEndpoints.com and MemoryEndpoints.com as the two optional
plugins, and installing either plugin remains a separate owner action. Protected
remote dispatch still requires an authenticated account, the separately
installed RemoteEndpoints plugin, and local remote enablement. Local-only
features do not require a website account.
