Windows 11 CodeIntegrity Blocks the CherryTree Installer and Libraries (DLLs) - Not Digitally Signed

[TESTER-sec]

Thank you for CherryTree. I use it to study for IT exams and also for Program and Project Management. I am very grateful and cannot thank you enough.

The CherryTree installer is not digitally signed. Windows 11 CodeIntegrity is going to block the installer every single time on systems using CodeIntegrity protections. CodeIntegrity protections cannot be disabled on some systems because there are various requirements that it be enabled and not capable of being disabled by the user. The protections are per corporate, organizational, or government regulations.

Even if the system user manages to get CherryTree installed, CodeIntegrity blocks the execution of the program because it also is not digitally signed.

Either make CherryTree a paid product so you have revenue to support it as required or create a "GoFundMe" to get donation funding for a proper digital certificate because, according to Microsoft, at some point within the coming years unsigned code downloaded from the internet zone will be blocked by default. Only Microsoft knows when that will happen.

Also, a bunch of CherryTree libraries (DLLs) are being blocked by CodeIntegrity for the same reason - not digitally signed - and when the program is launched, the DLLs are blocked from loading.
