Installation Fails: “The App You’re Trying to install isn’t a Microsoft-Verified App” (Windows)

You may receive a message preventing you from installing Finale as it isn't a Microsoft-verified application available in the Microsoft Store. This is due to a security setting that prevents you from installing applications from outside the Microsoft Store. As Finale is not available in the Microsoft Store, you will need to turn off this setting in order to install Finale on your computer. You can do that by taking the steps below:

Select your version of Windows:

Windows 11

1. Select "Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & Features"
2. Select Anywhere under Choose where to get apps

After you see a confirmation message on the page, you'll be able to install apps from outside of the Microsoft Store.

Windows 10

1. Select "Start > Settings > Apps  > Apps & Features"
2. Select Allow apps from anywhere under Installing Apps

After you see a confirmation message on the page, you'll be able to install apps from outside of the Microsoft Store.
