Visual install guide

Install WVISA from your paid download link.

Use this guide after checkout. It walks through the current unsigned pilot delivery: a tier-locked ZIP package, hash verification, extraction, intake, scan, and report review.

The install flow

Follow the steps in order. If anything looks different, pause and contact WVISA support before continuing.

1. Open the paid success page

After payment, Stripe sends you to the success page for the tier you purchased. The page shows your package name, version, size, and SHA-256 hash.

Look for: Version 1.8.3.43, your exact tier, and a Download button.

2. Download the locked ZIP

Select Download. WVISA checks the checkout session and serves only the ZIP package tied to the purchased tier.

Do not forward the success link. Treat it like a private receipt.

3. Verify the file hash

Open PowerShell and compare the downloaded ZIP hash with the hash shown on the success page.

Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 "C:\Users\YourName\Downloads\WVISA-v1.8.3.43-client-your-tier-script-only.zip"

4. Handle browser or AV warnings

Because this pilot build is unsigned, Windows, Norton, or another security product may warn about the package.

If the hash does not match, or if the warning names a specific infection, stop and contact WVISA support.

5. Extract the ZIP

Right-click the ZIP, choose Extract All, and extract it to a folder you can find again, such as Downloads or Desktop.

Run WVISA from the extracted folder, not from inside the compressed ZIP preview.

6. Start WVISA

Open the extracted folder and run Start-WVISA.cmd. WVISA validates the package before launching the assessment app.

If Windows asks for permission, review the prompt and continue only if it matches the verified WVISA folder.

7. Complete intake

Select New Customer Intake, answer the questions you know, and save the intake for the current engagement before starting the assessment.

Intake helps WVISA avoid stale answers from older engagements.

8. Start the assessment

Select Start Assessment. The scan is designed to be read-only. Remediation commands are separate and require customer approval.

Do not run scans against networks or devices you are not authorized to assess.

9. Open the report

When complete, WVISA opens the report and also saves it under your Desktop WVISA reports folder.

Desktop\WVISA\Reports\ENG-...\SecurityReport.html

If Norton or antivirus quarantines WVISA

Unsigned security tools can trigger reputation-based or heuristic alerts, especially while a product is new.

Do not click through blindly Leave the file quarantined until you confirm the source and hash. Do not disable antivirus globally.

Verify the source The file should come from the WVISA success page after Stripe checkout, not from email attachments, file shares, or forwarded links.

Compare SHA-256 The hash must exactly match the success page. A mismatch means do not run it.

Ask for support Send the alert name, WVISA tier, package filename, and hash to support. WVISA can provide review guidance or a corrected delivery option.

WVISA does not ask customers to disable browser, Windows, antivirus, or endpoint protection just to run a file. Code signing is still planned before broad unattended public sale.

What WVISA does and does not do

This is the plain-language safety boundary for customers.

WVISA does

Run a point-in-time local security assessment, generate reports on your device, and provide prioritized guidance.

WVISA does not

Guarantee protection, certify compliance, replace antivirus, provide insurance, or make unauthorized scanning acceptable.

Data handling

Reports are generated locally by default. WVISA receives them only if you choose to send them for support or a separately scoped service.
