Downloads




It is Packed with 7z (compression method LZMA2).
Please Unpacking into a suitable folder and use it.

Older Unpacking software may not support the LZMA2 method
even if it supports 7z.

We recommend using software that has been updated within the last year,
as it may not have been updated to address vulnerabilities.

If ".NET Desktop Runtime 8.0" is not installed on your PC,
you will be prompted to install it when you run the tool,
so follow the on-screen instructions.


If you download directly from the MS site,
be careful not to make a mistake as there are three types of runtime.


The settings of this tool are not written to files, the registry, etc.
(The registry is written only to reflect Explorer settings.)

If you're worried, create a restore point.
