Windows installer¶

We generate Windows installers for each release.

These should work on Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10 and Windows Server 2012 R2, though our automated builds are all built on a Windows 8.1 host machine.

If you hit runtime errors complaining about missing msvcr120.dll or msvcp120.dll files then please install the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 from Microsoft.

We only support 64-bit builds.

It may be possible to get the client working for Windows 32-bit, by building from source and disabling EVMJIT and maybe other features too. We might accept pull-requests to add such support, but we will not put any of our development time into supporting Windows 32-bit builds.

The vast majority of individuals using Windows have 64-bit hardware now.
