Getting started
Set up Zorro on Windows and reach an attached client without guessing what each screen is waiting for.
Before you start
- A Windows PC and a supported Minecraft 1.8.9 client.
- A Zorro account with an active subscription.
- Administrator access for installation and Windows' permission prompt.
Download and install
- Open your download pageSign in at Account → Download. Downloads require an active subscription.
- Download for WindowsSelect Download for Windows, then open the downloaded installer.
- Approve the Windows promptConfirm the User Account Control prompt. If you decline it, the installer cannot make changes and Zorro will not be installed.
- Finish installationKeep the default installation folder unless you have a specific reason to change it, then launch Zorro.
Expected result: Zorro opens to sign-in or restores your existing session.
Prepare Windows Security
Zorro's engine attaches to another process. Security tools can classify that behavior as suspicious and quarantine the engine even when the installer itself completed successfully.
- Open Virus & threat protectionIn Windows Security, open Virus & threat protection, then Manage settings.
- Add the install folder as an exclusionUnder Exclusions, choose Add or remove exclusions → Add an exclusion → Folder, then select
C:\Program Files\Zorro. - Restore or reinstall if neededIf Defender already removed a file, restore it from Protection history or reinstall after adding the exclusion.
Sign in
- Choose a sign-in methodUse Google or your Zorro email and password. Complete the browser flow if Zorro opens one.
- Wait for access verificationZorro checks your account, subscription, app version, and linked device before starting its engine.
Expected result: The app shows Attach a client. If it shows an access or engine screen instead, use Troubleshooting.
Attach your first client

- Select Attach a clientZorro discovers running clients automatically. Select the matching client card to begin attachment.
- Wait for the completed stateDo not close either program during injection. Zorro shows progress and then cross-fades into that client's Modules view.

Expected result: The selected client appears in Zorro's navigation and its modules can be configured.
