Windows desktop

Requires: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). The WebView2 runtime, preinstalled on Windows 11; on Windows 10 the app prompts to install it if missing.

1. On the Releases page, download CrumbVMS_<version>_x64-setup.exe. The video library is bundled inside it, so there's no separate file to manage. An .msi is also provided if you prefer that format.
2. Run the installer. Windows SmartScreen will warn about an unrecognized app, it's unsigned during the alpha: click "More info" then "Run anyway," then install.
3. Launch Crumb from the Start Menu.
4. Use "Find my server" or enter http://<server-host>:8080, then log in.

Updating is running the newer installer over the top.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Likely cause
Video panes black	The bundled video library isn't next to the executable; reinstall rather than copying the exe by hand.
"Windows protected your PC"	SmartScreen on the unsigned alpha build; click "More info" then "Run anyway."
Connects, lists cameras, live panes stay black	The server's RTSP address isn't set; see Server settings.
