## v1.3.5 Hot Fix Available for “local issuer certificate” issue

I’ve just published v1.3.5 with what I hope is a fix for the “local issuer certificate”. Unfortunately, because it’s an issue with auto-update this will need to patched manually.

You can download the patch at

[https://choicescriptide.github.io/downloads/updates/targets/135.zip](https://choicescriptide.github.io/downloads/updates/targets/135.zip)

**Note: do not unzip this file!**

### **MacOS Instructions**

Rename the zip file to `app.nw` (be careful you don’t rename it to `app.zip.nw`).  
Find the ChoiceScript IDE application, right-click it and select “Show Package Contents”.

Navigate through the subsequent folder structure to: `/Applications/ChoiceScript\ IDE.app/Contents/Resources/` and replace the `app.nw` in there with the zip file you just renamed.

### **Windows Instructions**

Rename the zip file to `package.nw` (be careful you don’t rename it to `package.zip.nw`).  
Find the ChoiceScript IDE installation (likely `C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\ChoiceScript IDE`) and replace the `package.nw` there with the zip file you just renamed.

If anyone could let me know if this solves the problem that would be great. I’ll post another update if I find an easier way to work around this.

EDIT: Corrected the link.
