For most users the file -called `win-acme.v2.x.x.xx.x64.trimmed.zip` is recommended, but if you want to run on a -32 bit system you should get the `x86` version instead of the `x64` one, or if you want to -download or develop extra plugins, you should get the `pluggable` version instead of the -`trimmed` one. -- Unzip files to a non-temporary folder, so that the scheduled task will be able to run. -We recommend using `%programfiles%\win-acme`. -- Run `wacs.exe` (this requires administrator privileges). -- Follow the instructions on the screen to configure your first renewal. - -## Creating your first certificate -**Note:** simple mode is for users looking to install a non-wildcard certificate on their local IIS instance. -For any other scenario you should skip straight to the section on [advanced use](/win-acme/manual/advanced-use/). - -- Choose `N` in the main menu to create a new certificate in simple mode. -- Choose how you want to determine the domain name(s) that you want to include in the certificate. -This can be derived from the bindings of an IIS site, or you can input them manually. -- A registration is created with the ACME server, if no existing one can be found. You will be asked -to agree to its terms of service and to provide an email address that the administrators can use to contact you. -- The program negotiates with ACME server to try and prove your ownership of the domain(s) that you want to -create the certificate for. By default the [http validation](/win-acme/reference/plugins/validation/http/) -mode is picked, handled by our [self-hosting](/win-acme/reference/plugins/validation/http/selfhosting) plugin. -Getting validation right is often the most tricky part of getting an ACME certificate. If there are -problems please check out some [common issues](/win-acme/manual/validation-problems). -- After the proof has been provided, the program gets the new certificate from the ACME server and updates -or creates IIS bindings as required, according to the logic documented [here](/win-acme/reference/plugins/installation/iisweb). -- The program remembers all choices that you made while creating the certificate and applies them -for each subsequent [renewal](/win-acme/manual/automatic-renewal). |
