Get the desktop app

Try CloudScope first

You can use the web application without installing anything.

Please fill out this form to request the desktop app for macOS or Windows. We will email you a download link. After you receive the ZIP, use the platform steps below to install and run it.

Running the desktop app

Unblock the ZIP

Unblock before extracting

Windows marks files downloaded from the Internet with a security zone flag. If you skip this step, CloudScope may fail to start after extraction (see Troubleshooting below).

  1. Right-click the ZIP file.
  2. Select Properties.
  3. If an Unblock checkbox is present, enable it.
  4. Click Apply, then OK.

Alternatively, use PowerShell:

Unblock-File "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\CloudScope-vX.Y.Z-windows-x64.zip"

Extract

  1. Right-click the ZIP file.
  2. Select Extract All…
  3. Wait for extraction to complete.

Do not run CloudScope directly from inside the ZIP archive.

Run

Open the extracted folder and double-click CloudScope.exe:

CloudScope/
└── CloudScope.exe

If Windows SmartScreen appears, select More info, then Run anyway.

Troubleshooting

CloudScope does not start

If CloudScope reports a Python.Runtime.dll or pythonnet error when starting:

  1. Delete the extracted CloudScope folder.
  2. Unblock the original ZIP file.
  3. Extract the ZIP again.
  4. Launch CloudScope.exe.

This error is commonly caused by Windows marking downloaded ZIP files as originating from the Internet.
