Installing the HF08 sequencer (AppV5.1RTM_Sequencer_KB4014009.exe) can be a bit of a mission.
You must install the KB2533623 update first
If the sequencer is offline then you will need to install the Microsoft Root CA certificate.

From experience you can just double click and install but make sure you choose Trusted Root Certification Authorities.
