Manual install (prerequisites first)

Install Windows updates and runtimes yourself, then apply the application bundles. Use official Microsoft Update Catalog entries where possible.

Windows 7 SP1 x64: SnipeOffice bundle

The automated installer normally handles these. For manual setup, ensure these are installed before running SnipeOffice setup inside the bundle:

Item	Purpose
Windows 7 SP1 x64	Base OS requirement
KB2533623	Security update required by VxKex / installer
KB2670838	Platform Update (required)
VxKex	Installed by bundle; kernel spoof for Win10 API expectations
VC++ 2015-2022	Installed by bundle into SnipeOffice program\

Then download snipeoffice25win7.zip and run Install-SnipeOffice-Win7.bat as administrator.

Windows 7 SP1: Snipe Browser

Required before browser install (32-bit or 64-bit Win7):

VxKex troubleshooting

If SnipeOffice fails to launch with a VxKex or KB error:

1. Reboot the PC
2. Run Install-SnipeOffice-Win7.bat as administrator again
3. Check install-log.txt in the extracted bundle folder

Optional Autopatcher 7 folder in the bundle is for edge-case OS bugs only. Do not run it while the main installer is running.
