Cinegy Convert Installation

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

Caution
It is required to install critical Windows updates before the application installation.
Caution
Cinegy Convert requires .NET Framework 4.8 (or later), which can be installed using the web installer during Cinegy Convert installation. The offline installer can be used if the web installer is unavailable due to a lack of Internet connectivity. 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 4.8 is installed, the OS reboot is required. Otherwise, the installation may fail.
