Install Fireball Designer on Windows
For Windows 10 or 11 on an Intel or AMD PC. It installs just for you (no admin password). Pre-Release: this is an early app shell today, and the modeling core is not connected yet.
You need
- Windows 10 (version 1809 or later) or Windows 11, 64-bit.
- Not sure which Windows you have? Settings ▸ System ▸ About ▸ System type says x64-based or ARM-based.
Install
Three clicks. The Pre-Release installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows asks once.
Run the installer
Open FireballDesigner-Setup.exe from your Downloads.
If Windows protected your PC: More info, then Run anyway
SmartScreen shows this because the Pre-Release installer is not code-signed yet. Click More info, check the app is Fireball Designer, then click Run anyway.
Designer opens by itself
It installs in a few seconds and starts. Next time, find it in the Start menu.
The first time it opens
Open Fireball Designer and sign in with your Fireball account. This Pre-Release is an early shell: the modeling core is not connected yet, so use the Mac app for real work.
If something's off
- There's no Run anyway button.
- Click More info first; the button appears under it. If your PC is managed by work or school, it may block unsigned apps. Ask your IT team.
- How do I update?
- Download the newest Pre-Release installer from Downloads and run it over the existing install.
- How do I remove it?
- Settings ▸ Apps ▸ Installed apps ▸ Fireball Designer ▸ Uninstall.
