Step 1: Download and allow the installer if needed

Because the current release is unsigned, Windows may ask you to confirm, unblock, or allow the download before running it.

  1. Download the EXE or MSI above.
  2. If Windows or your antivirus warns about the unsigned installer, verify the file came from this page and compare the SHA256 checksum.
  3. If using the legacy ZIP, right-click the ZIP, choose Properties, then check Unblock if Windows shows it.
  4. Run the installer or extract the ZIP after allowing/unblocking it.

Step 2: Install the launcher

  1. Run BEERLEAGUE-Launcher-Setup-1.1.17.exe or BEERLEAGUE-Launcher-1.1.17.msi.
  2. Follow the installer prompts.
  3. If Windows warns because the installer is unsigned, verify the checksum and only continue if the file came from this official BEERLEAGUE download page.
  4. If you use the ZIP package instead, extract it and run Install.cmd.

Step 3: Enable CS:GO developer console if needed

The installer tries to detect CS:GO and offer the developer-console helper. If CS:GO is not detected, enable the developer console manually in CS:GO settings, or run:

Enable-CSGO-Developer-Console.cmd

Uninstalling

If you installed with the EXE or MSI, uninstall it like any normal Windows app:

  1. Open Windows SettingsAppsInstalled apps.
  2. Find BEERLEAGUE Launcher.
  3. Choose Uninstall.

You can also remove it from the classic Programs and Features control panel. If you used the legacy ZIP installer, run this from the extracted package folder:

Uninstall-BEERLEAGUE-Launcher.cmd
