Which file​

WhoWhat to do
MapleLink-Setup.exeFirst timeDouble-click to unpack a folder with the app and a readme
MapleLink.exeAlready using it, or want to place it yourselfRun it directly. This is the file auto-update replaces

Neither needs installing. Either runs from any folder. Settings and accounts live in %APPDATA%\com.maplelink.app, not next to the program; see the guide.

Requirements​

  • Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)
  • Microsoft Edge WebView2. Usually preinstalled; how to add it if missing
  • Classic server also needs Nexon Game Manager; the app detects it and prompts you

Check the file is genuine​

Repackaged copies of the launcher are being handed around. There are exactly two recognised sources; anything from elsewhere did not come from us:

  1. The download buttons on this site
  2. https://github.com/lshw54/maplelink/releases

This site hosts no executables; the buttons link straight to GitHub. MapleLink and Beanfun publish separately and never hand out files on each other's behalf.

Check the SHA256​

Every release's notes, and the card above, list the SHA256 of MapleLink.exe.

How
  1. If you downloaded MapleLink-Setup.exe, double-click to extract it first.
  2. Right-click inside the extracted folder, choose "Open in Terminal", and run:
Get-FileHash .\MapleLink.exe -Algorithm SHA256
  1. Compare the Hash output with the value in the release notes. If it differs, delete the file. Do not run it.

Check the signature (advanced)​

Each release ships MapleLink.exe.sig, signed with the development team's minisign private key.

How

Public key (key ID 64B3B19BBF3B13D1):

RWTREzu/m7GzZL+ob+fnHI6ktK+56Tw+gqQRv7hWCbSb/+z47yo5EBAy

The same key is compiled into the app; compare it with update_signature.rs and trust it only if both match. It changes only if the private key is lost or compromised.

The MapleLink.exe.sig on GitHub is in Tauri's format, a minisign signature file wrapped in base64, so decode it first. Download the Windows build from minisign's GitHub Releases and unzip minisign.exe; nothing to install. Put it next to MapleLink.exe and MapleLink.exe.sig and run there:

[IO.File]::WriteAllBytes("MapleLink.exe.minisig", [Convert]::FromBase64String((Get-Content MapleLink.exe.sig -Raw).Trim()))
minisign -Vm MapleLink.exe -x MapleLink.exe.minisig -P RWTREzu/m7GzZL+ob+fnHI6ktK+56Tw+gqQRv7hWCbSb/+z47yo5EBAy

Signature and comment signature verified means the file was published by whoever holds the private key and has not been altered since.

Why Windows still warns you​

Expand

The SHA256 and the signature prove the file is unmodified. Windows SmartScreen asks a different question: does Windows know this publisher? The app has no commercial certificate, so SmartScreen has no reputation record for it. Once the SHA256 matches, click "More info" then "Run anyway".

The dialog follows your Windows language:

Windows protected your PC

Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.

There is no Run anyway at first. Click More info.
