FormDD is now available on the Microsoft Store.

Install on Windows

Download & install FormDD

Install from the Microsoft Store when you can — it is the simplest path. If you need the Setup file directly, use the GitHub alternative below.

Install from the Microsoft Store

Recommended for Windows PCs that can reach the Microsoft Store.

① Open FormDD on the Store

Click “Get it from Microsoft Store” above to open the FormDD listing.

② Install

Choose Get or Install as shown in the Store, then wait until setup finishes.

③ Open FormDD

Launch it from the Start menu. You can try the bundled sample forms right away.

Alternative — Setup from GitHub

Use this when you want the Setup file directly. During install, Windows may show a blue “Unknown publisher” warning — this is normal for apps from a small developer, not a virus.

① Download Setup

Click the Setup button above. The file lives on GitHub Releases, which that button points to. You get FormDD-Setup-x.y.z.exe. Do not download it from anywhere else.

② Open the downloaded file

If Microsoft Edge warns “this file isn’t commonly downloaded”, choose Keep when you downloaded from the official link above. If the prompt below appears, click the arrow next to Delete and select Keep anyway. Then open the downloaded file.

First: click the three dots beside the FormDD file, then select Keep.

Example from version 0.5.1: select Keep anyway in the menu below Delete to keep the file.
Once the file is kept, click Open file to launch the FormDD installer.
Once the file is kept, click Open file to launch the FormDD installer.
③ Get past “Windows protected your PC”

This is the blue SmartScreen screen, not an admin-permission prompt. Click More info, then Run anyway — the button only appears after you click More info.

④ Follow the installer

In Select Setup Language, choose your preferred language (Thai is selected in this example), then click OK.

Click Next through the wizard. Setup installs into your user folder. No administrator rights are needed — do not “Run as administrator”.

⑤ Open FormDD

Launch it from the desktop icon. You can try the sample forms right away — no key needed.

Why does Windows say “Unknown publisher”?

This warning usually appears when you install from the Setup file directly. Windows flags any app that doesn’t yet carry a code-signing certificate it recognizes. FormDD is built by a small team and that certificate is still being arranged — so the warning shows as a precaution. It does not mean the file has a virus or was tampered with.

To be sure before installing: (1) only download from the official link, (2) verify the file’s SHA256 (below), (3) scan with Windows Defender or upload it to virustotal.com.

For IT — verify the file with SHA256

Every release ships a SHA256SUMS.txt on its Release page. Open PowerShell and run:

Get-FileHash .\FormDD-Setup-x.y.z.exe -Algorithm SHA256

Compare the value with the matching line in SHA256SUMS.txt. If they match, the file is intact and untampered.

Defender removed the file?

Open Windows Security → Protection history → pick the FormDD item → Allow / Restore.

Setup doesn’t start?

The installer does not need administrator rights. If the file vanished, restore it from Defender (above) and download again from the button on this page. Do not run Setup as administrator — it would install into a different folder from your saved work.

Uninstall

Settings → Apps → search “FormDD” → Uninstall. Your saved work stays until you delete it yourself.
