Installing FabFlow

1

Download the installer

Click the Download FabFlow button above. You’ll get FabFlowSetup.exe.

2

Run the installer

Run FabFlowSetup.exe. If Windows shows an “Unknown publisher” warning, see the explainer below — it’s expected.

3

Install prerequisites

The installer checks for the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime and installs it automatically if it’s missing.

4

Accept the licence and install

Read the EULA, accept, and let the installer finish.

5

Launch Inventor

Open Autodesk Inventor (any supported version: 2025, 2026, or 2027). FabFlow loads automatically and your 14-day free trial starts immediately — no license key, no credit card required.

6

Start using FabFlow

FabFlow commands appear on the Inventor ribbon. Open the FabFlow Settings dialog to configure defaults.

You can use all of FabFlow during the 14-day trial. When the trial ends, you’ll be prompted to activate a license. Buy one on the Pricing page.

“Unknown publisher” warning — why, and what to do

When you run FabFlowSetup.exe, Windows may show a blue “Windows protected your PC” screen that says “Unknown publisher” and doesn’t show a clear Run button. This is normal for software from small developers and does not mean FabFlow is unsafe.

Why it happens

Windows SmartScreen trusts installers signed by developers with an established reputation — typically large software vendors who have distributed hundreds of thousands of downloads over many years. FabFlow is a new product from a small Australian developer, so we haven’t built that reputation yet. Code-signing certificates and reputation take time and money that we’ve intentionally deferred in favour of building a better product and launching at a lower price.

This isn’t a judgement about whether FabFlow is safe — it’s Windows being cautious about new publishers in general.

How to install anyway

  1. When the SmartScreen warning appears, click the small More info link (just below the main message).
  2. A Run anyway button appears — click it.
  3. Windows proceeds with the installation normally.

How to verify FabFlow is legitimate

  • You can scan FabFlowSetup.exe with any antivirus before running it — it’s a standard WiX-based MSI installer, not packed or obfuscated.
  • Questions? Email fabflow@rmacdesign.org and we’ll answer within one business day.

We’re working toward code signing as FabFlow grows. For now, the “Unknown publisher” warning is a small friction you accept in exchange for early access at Beta pricing.
