7-Zip needs to be installed in two parts.
- First, the standalone7zr.exe binary should be downloaded.
- This can stay in the Downloads directory as it will only be needed once.
- Second, the 64-bit Windows x64 installer (.exe) should be downloaded.
- This should be extracted using the previous standalone executable.

Download and extract the TTF files from the .tar.gz file, or checkout the binaries from Git:
- git clone https://go.googlesource.com/image
- The font files are in image/font/gofont/ttfs.
- Select all the .ttf files, right-click, and select Install.

- The Wix binaries ZIP should be downloaded and extracted.
- Then the Wix dark.exe command should be used to extract the VC_redist.x64.exe file.
- dark.exe -x vcruntime VC_redist.x64.exe
- Then open vcruntime\AttachedContainer\packages\vcRuntimeMinimum_amd64\cab1.cab and copy all the files into the KeePassXC directory.

- MSYS2 (development environment)
-
- Download and run the msys2-x86_64-*.exe installer.
- Install to a directory that you have write access to, e.g. under %USERPROFILE%\opt\msys64.
- Run the MSYS2 UCRT64 launcher.
- UCRT64 is Microsoft's Universal C Runtime Library and is the preferred build environment on modern (Windows 10 and above) Windows operating systems.
- For more information, see Environments.
- Update the MSYS2 environment with pacman -Syu and then install the toolchain package group with pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-toolchain.
- This will install all of the build tools including gcc, g++, and mingw32-make, plus the libstdc and libstdc++ libraries.
- Finally, add %USERPROFILE%\opt\msys64\ucrt64\bin to the %PATH% environment variable.
- A profile can be added to Windows Terminal with the following settings:
-
- - Name:
MSYS2 UCRT64
- - Command line:
%USERPROFILE%\opt\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd -defterm -here -no-start -ucrt64
- - Starting directory:
%USERPROFILE%\opt\msys64\home\%USERNAME%
- - Icon:

- PuTTY
-
- The Windows built-in ssh-agent needs admin to be started, so we have to use PAGEANT.EXE instead.
- The ZIP file can be extracted to any directory.
- Running PAGEANT.EXE --openssh-config %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\config.d\pageant.config will write an OpenSSH config file with the path to the pipe used for communication.
- This can be used by the built-in Windows OpenSSH client by adding an Include config.d\pageant.config line to %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\config.

- Vim
-
- The installer can run without admin permissions, or the ZIP version can run from any directory.
- The following can be put into a batch file named vim.cmd in the %PATH% to make it easier to launch without pulling in all the other programs:
- @ECHO OFF
