Step 4 - Confirm Again

Microsoft Edge will again try to dissuade you from downloading the file with a warning such as “Make sure you trust windows_10_cmake_Release_graphviz-install-14.1.4-win32.exe before you open it”.

It will appear that your only choices are Cancel or Delete. To keep the file you must click the v dropdown within the Delete button.

An additional choice appears:

  • Keep anyway

Click on Keep anyway

Step 5 - Open the File

Microsoft Edge downloads the file, and the installer file shows up as a download. Click on Open file to run the installer.
