Website error 503, no backups listed?

Hey, I'm installing on a new PC using winget and kept getting errors. I check the website and it's down, been down for a while now. Any alternative sites or ways to get this?

For now, just get onto the download page via Wayback Machine and get the msi download for a manual installation. Winget, scoop and choco fail due to the website being down. Atleast that's how I got it going for the time being, hope it helps.

I have the portable version with me. The latest one. Remove .txt from the MSI files as git does not allow .msi file types it seems. Attaching here.

NileSoft Shell 1.9.18 Portable.zip NileSoft Canary.zip NileSoft 1.9.18 Arm64.msi.txt NileSoft 1.9.18 X86.msi.txt NileSoft 1.9.18 X64.msi.txt

Site is back up. However, just to be safe, I have added all 1.9.18 files to the upload above, and also will upload to my own server for my own backup. 🙂

Suggest, add 1.9.18 as well.

shell.dll and shell.exe work separately - most of the time shell.dll changes and shell.exe version is fixed. So I keep only dll files. https://github.com/RubicBG/Nilesoft-Shell-Snippets/tree/main/Setup%20Version/Experimental

the last version is 1.9.20

package.executable("WindowsNotepad")
package.entryPoint("WindowsNotepad")
package("WindowsNotepad", "name")
package("WindowsNotepad", "id")
package("WindowsNotepad", "family")
package("WindowsNotepad", "path")
package("WindowsNotepad", "version")
package("WindowsNotepad", "executable")
package("WindowsNotepad", "entryPoint")

$pkg = package("WindowsSandbox", "Apps")
item(title="test package" cmd=msg(str.fmt("count={0}\n{1}\n{2}\n{3}\n{4}", len(pkg), pkg[0],pkg[1],pkg[2],pkg[3])))

// old
path.file.box("exe file (.exe)|*.exe|all files (*.*)|*.*", 'c:\windows')
// new
path.file.box(["exe file (.exe)|*.exe", "all files (*.*)|*.*"], 'c:\windows')

path.file.save_box()
path.file.save_box(['text|*.txt'], 'c:\windows', 'file name.txt')

path.dir.boxl('c:\windows', 'title')

All features are experimental and may change before release!
