Cinegy Convert Installation

Cinegy Convert has a unified installer that allows installing all the components you need.

Caution

It is required to install critical Windows updates before the application installation.

Caution

Installation of .NET Framework 4.6.1 or later is required before the Cinegy Convert installation. In the case of online installation, the web installer will update the system components, if necessary. The offline installer can be used if the web installer is unavailable due to a lack of Internet connection. In this case, make sure the .NET Framework 4.5 is activated as a Windows feature, then download the corresponding offline installer package directly from the Microsoft website. After the .NET Framework 4.6.1 is installed, the OS reboot is required. Otherwise, the installation may fail.
