Update Askimo App on Windows

Before You Start

• Quit Askimo if it is currently running (system tray → right-click → Quit, or close the window).
• Your sessions, settings, and API keys in %APPDATA%\askimo\ are untouched by the update.
• Admin rights are required for the MSI installer.

Option 1: MSI Installer (Recommended)

1. Download the latest installer: Askimo-Desktop-windows-x64.msi
2. Run the downloaded .msi file — it upgrades the existing installation automatically.
3. If Windows SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC”:
   1. Click More info.
   2. Click Run anyway.
4. Follow the setup wizard.
5. Launch Askimo from the Start Menu.

After this, Windows remembers your choice and will not warn you again for this version.

Option 2: Universal JAR

Prerequisites: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 21 or higher.

1. Download the latest JAR: askimo-desktop-windows-x64.jar
2. Replace your existing JAR with the new one.
3. Restart Askimo:

java -jar askimo-desktop-windows-x64.jar

Troubleshooting

Issue	Fix
SmartScreen blocks installer	Click More info → Run anyway
Missing DLL error	Re-run installer with admin rights
App doesn’t launch	Check antivirus quarantine; add an exception for Askimo
App still shows old version	Quit the old app before running the new installer
