Note about the Windows installer:

The Windows installer does only include wxMaxima. It is not signed with an expensive EV certificate (as most free software), so maybe you will get a warning from Windows after downloading.
You will still need a Maxima installation (e.g. from https://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/files/Maxima-Windows/) and have to configure, where Maxima can be found, when you first start this wxMaxima!
An new installer for Maxima, which will include this wxMaxima version will hopefully occur soon.

You can install it with admin and user permissions. If you install without admin permissions, use Uninstall.exe in the wxMaxima directory to uninstall it. If you uninstall it using the Apps&Features menu (as admin) a 'ghost entry' will remain in the list of installed programs.

If you want to do an unattended installation (e.g. if you plan to install wxMaxima on many computers in a school, university or company),
this installer (and uninstaller) understands the command line switch /S (for 'silent install').

To select a installation directory for an unattended installation, use /D=directory, e.g. to install to C:\wxmaxima the command would be:
wxMaxima-21.05.0-win64.exe /S /D=C:\wxmaxima
This parameter must be the last one.
