The best info is in the documentation WIKI at the same site you downloaded from. I was including a PDF user guide with the installation, but I'm not sure they're still doing that. Check where you unzipped it first. If not there, then goto the GitHub site.

Thanks, Bill. I was able to get it running on my Windows PC using your zip suggestion. Since I haven't played with it for awhile, I'm a bit slow on figuring it out again. I was able to add the multipak, and added a floppy drive in slot 4. I wasn't able to save a small test program to the floppy. Do I need to format the floppy disk first? Do you know of a good step by step instruction to allow me to get everything set up that I need to save and run programs, including .dsk files I have stored on my PC?
Thanks much for the help.

Subject: Re: [Coco] VCC The warning is a "False Positive" one. You may half to go into Google (or whatever) and set it to ignore the VCC warning. I thought that issue had been fixed.
Another alternative is to download the ".zip" file and install it yourself. It can be installed anywhere, but you'll have to provide your own desktop shortcut.
I know who compiles the releases and I know they're safe.
On another note, in the past 3 years, VCC has been going through MAJOR updates and added features. The list is quite long. VCC is more robust than it's ever been. I dare you to try it.

I haven't used VCC for a few years, and wanted to start it up again on my Windows PC. When I try to install the newest version of VCC, Chrome blocks me, saying the setup file is dangerous. I would guess this is a generic warning, and not specific to the VCC setup file, but I can't get through this block.
What is the best way to install the newest version of VCC on my PC?
Thanks for the help.
