Install on Windows

Native Windows launcher for ArcheAge Origins (32-bit / i686 archive to match the client).

Prerequisites

Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime. Windows 11 and current Windows 10 installs normally include it.
A verified ArcheAge r208022 client directory (contains bin32/archeage.exe).

Retained sign-in uses Windows Credential Manager.

Download and extract

Get aaemu-launcher-windows-i686.zip from ArcheAge Origins Launcher v0.3.5 (or from your team).
Before extracting, calculate the archive’s SHA-256 in PowerShell:
Terminal window
```
Get-FileHash .\aaemu-launcher-windows-i686.zip -Algorithm SHA256
```
Compare it with the sha256 for the matching filename in the release’s manifest.json, or ask your team for the matching release hash.
Extract into one directory. Keep both files together:
- aaemu-launcher.exe
- aaemu-launcher-updater.exe
Run aaemu-launcher.exe.

SmartScreen

The launcher binary has no Windows code signature. Windows SmartScreen may block the first run. Choose More info → Run anyway.

First run

Sign in (see Getting started for AutoAccount behavior).
Select the client root (directory that contains bin32/archeage.exe) under Installation settings.

If you still need the client itself, use the launcher’s supported-r208022 download link (opens MEGA in your browser). Details: Getting started.

Upgrading to 0.3.5

Version 0.3.5 adds recovery for interrupted launcher updates and uses your existing ArcheAge Origins profile. Recovery applies to updates that run the 0.3.5 helper; the update from an older version still uses its older helper.

If you are upgrading from a version before 0.3.4, the rebrand starts a fresh launcher profile. Sign in again, select your existing client folder, and set any custom launcher preferences again. The first client check hashes the files again; your existing game installation can be reused.

If you install the archive manually, close the previous launcher before starting v0.3.5.
