Warning message generated at install (see image) - can we get round this? This may cause folk to abandon the install

To fix this message we need to sign the installer executable. This is a part of Electron framework. We'll implement this as soon as an appropriate OPF digital certificate is provided

In more detail, Organization Validation (OV) certificate is needed. Tested this with a self-signed certificate, which needs to be added to a trusted storage on the machine with the installer is executed.

Unfortunately, it is not available from Let's Encrypt service, which generates only Domain validation (DV) certificates: https://letsencrypt.org/docs/faq/
