The installer configures the Portivo Control Center Windows Service with Automatic Delayed Start and automatic service recovery.

The Windows installer uses a private CPython 3.13.15 runtime for Portivo. The installer validates pinned SHA-256 values for the CPython runtime and WinSW, verifies the Python Authenticode signature, installs the exact dependency lock without dependency re-resolution and runs pip check before completing installation.
