Here's how to install Routinewheel on your Windows PC. It's free, and you don't need an administrator password.

The easiest way is the Microsoft Store. On routinewheel dot com, slash download, press Get it from Microsoft.

The Store opens. Press Get, or Install. It's signed by Microsoft, so it installs with no warnings, and the Store keeps it up to date.

When it's done, open Routinewheel from the Start menu. That's it.

Prefer the download from this site? Press Download the zip.

Open Routinewheel dot zip, from your browser's downloads.

Double-click Setup. A small window sets things up. The first time, it fetches about eleven megabytes.

At the end, click Add to desktop. Routinewheel opens, and its icon stays on your desktop.

The download isn't signed, so Windows or your browser may double check with you.

If your browser says it isn't commonly downloaded, click the three dots next to the file, then Keep.

If a blue box says Windows protected your PC, click More info, then Run anyway. Windows only asks once.

If anything blocks it completely, use the Microsoft Store version instead.

Step by step

  1. Easiest: the Microsoft Store. Go to routinewheel.com/download and press Get it from Microsoft, or open Routinewheel in the Microsoft Store.
  2. In the Store, press Get (or Install). Then open Routinewheel from the Start menu.
  3. Or the download: on the same page, press Download the zip.
  4. Open Routinewheel.zip from your browser's downloads and double-click Setup. The first time, it fetches about 11 MB.
  5. Click Add to desktop. Routinewheel opens, and its icon stays on your desktop.
Microsoft Store or the download?Both are free and the same app. The Microsoft Store version is the one we recommend: it's signed, installs in one click and updates itself. In the Store, the Pro extras (running jobs on a schedule, and one after another) are an optional add-on that isn't on sale yet. The download from this site is early access and includes every feature, Pro extras too, but isn't signed, so Windows may double-check with you.

If it doesn’t work

  • The Store version is signed by Microsoft, so it installs with no warnings and keeps itself up to date. Use it if anything below gets in your way.
  • “Isn't commonly downloaded” in Edge or Chrome (zip only): click ⋯ next to the file, then Keep.
  • “Windows protected your PC” when you double-click Setup: click More info, then Run anyway. Windows asks only once.
  • Smart App Control or a work PC blocks the zip: use the Microsoft Store version, or ask your IT team. For companies there's Routinewheel for Teams.
  • No administrator password is needed either way.
