Windscribe 2.5.x on Windows 7/8

Unread post by K4sum1 »

(Edit: 2022/12/17 Used method on 2.5.18 and it still works, so I updated the version in the post)

Using this method, I've gotten Windscribe 2.5.18 running on Windows 7/8, the latest version as of making this post.

Step 1: Acquire win10verhack, QT 6.3.1 fix, and Windscribe

Step 2: Extract the two .zips.

Step 3: Open the Windscribe installer with 7-zip, and extract the splittunnel, tap6, and wintun folders

Step 4: Put the Windscribe installer in the win10verhack folder

Step 5: Open a admin cmd, and using the cd /d command, point cmd to the win10verhack folder

Step 6: Type withdll /d:win10verhack64.dll Windscribe_(version).exe and install Windscribe
(withdll /d:win10verhack64.dll Windscribe_2.5.14.exe)

Step 7: Take the QT 6.3.1 fix dlls, and copy them into the installed Windscribe folder (C:\Program Files\Windscribe)

Step 8: Go back to the extracted splittunnel, tap6, and wintun folders. Inside each is a win7 folder, and then an amd64 folder. Copy the contents of the amd64 folder for each in to the respective folders inside the installed Windscribe folder

Step 9: Install the splittunnel, tap6, and wintun drivers by right clicking the inf, and selecting install. If this fails, replace the sys files in %windir%\System32\drivers with the 7 .sys files.

Step 10: Open Windscribe
