Download ARSAS 1.6.41 with verifiable release evidence.
Choose the installer for a normal engineering workstation or the portable single EXE for an approved no-install deployment. Both packages are published from verified CI artifacts and have public SHA-256 values.

Portable single EXE
Best for approved test laptops, temporary evaluation or environments where installation is not preferred. Copy the EXE to a user-writable folder and run it without installing ARSAS or .NET.
Download portable single EXEInstaller vs Portable
Choose based on deployment—not on feature availability.
The IEC 61850 application scope is the same. The difference is how Windows stores, launches, removes and updates the package.

Get-FileHash .\ARSAS-Windows-x64-Setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256Not Authenticode-signed
The current public Windows installer and portable binaries do not carry a commercial Authenticode publisher signature. Verify the published SHA-256 value before use. SmartScreen warnings are therefore possible and are not hidden from users.
Declared status: unsigned
This status is disclosed for Windows UX transparency. ARSAS package verification uses the exact tagged release, published SHA-256, source identity and supply-chain evidence below.
Review the current boundaries.
- Physical relay validation remains necessary for vendor-specific values, report behavior and field network conditions that cannot be reproduced by CI.
- Windows x64 is the only packaged desktop platform in this stable release.
- The public portable binary is not Authenticode code-signed; Windows SmartScreen may show an unrecognized-publisher warning.
- Raw-Ethernet GOOSE and Sampled Values workflows require an administrator-installed and approved Npcap driver, suitable capture permission and visibility of the relevant multicast traffic.
Open-source release verification
Verify the exact package against the exact tagged source.
ARSAS 1.6.41 is tied to source commit e581a26dea5545034378adbeed5b78fc80aab773. Its tagged release publishes SHA-256 checksums, an SPDX SBOM and provenance evidence beside the Windows binaries.
Match the installer or portable filename and published SHA-256 before use.
Release v1.6.41 points to source commit e581a26dea5545034378adbeed5b78fc80aab773; inspect the public source and history independently.
The tagged release carries ARSAS-Windows-x64-SBOM.spdx.json and ARSAS-Windows-x64-PROVENANCE.json; repository attestations add digest-level evidence.
These records strengthen traceability. ARSAS does not claim a reproducible build from these records, and they do not replace physical-relay or project acceptance testing.
Do not stop at the binary.
Follow the read-first onboarding path, review common objections and inspect service-level field evidence before attempting active workflows.
Report package or runtime problems with evidence.
Include version 1.6.41, package type, Windows version, exact error, screenshot or log, and whether the published checksum matched.
