For an offline PC, obtain the release installer on a connected computer and transfer the complete file together with its version and published hash. The source-code ZIP is not the normal Windows setup program. Keep the offline machine security policy intact.
What to do
- On a connected PC, identify the target Windows architecture and choose the release executable. Save the release notes and SHA-256 reference with the installer.
- Calculate the hash before transferring the file. Copy the installer through a trusted removable drive or your organization approved distribution method.
- Calculate the hash again on the destination PC. The two values should match each other and the published release digest; an interrupted copy may leave a partial file.
- Run setup under an account authorized to install software and choose the required components. Afterward test local application and folder shortcuts without relying on network locations.
Check the result
The menu should open and launch local installed applications without using this website. Network shortcuts and update checks naturally require their own connections.
Limits & precautions
Offline installation does not make an unsupported Windows build supported and does not bypass certificate or application-control requirements. Store transfer media securely.
Questions & answers
Can I transfer the source ZIP instead?
Not for a normal installation. Use the executable asset unless you intend to build the project yourself.
Does a local menu require this site to remain open?
No. The website is documentation and a download link, not the menu runtime.
