Installing Rixoffice on Windows is fast, lightweight, and works fully offline without mandatory cloud connections.

System requirements for Windows

  • OS: Windows 10 (version 1809 or higher) or Windows 11 (64-bit)
  • Processor: Intel Core i3 / AMD Ryzen 3 or newer (x64)
  • RAM: 4 GB minimum (8 GB recommended for complex workbooks and slide decks)
  • Disk: 550 MB free disk space for the installation
  • Privileges: Standard user (administrator rights not required for per-user install)

Download Rixoffice for Windows

Choose between our primary GitHub release link and the official high-speed SourceForge mirror:

Download via PowerShell

Download directly to your Downloads folder using either endpoint:

powershell
# Option A: Primary GitHub Release
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/cybermadhan01/rixoffice-app/releases/download/v1.0.2/Rixoffice.Setup.1.0.2.exe" -OutFile "$HOME\Downloads\Rixoffice.Setup.1.0.2.exe"

# Option B: Official SourceForge Mirror (Recommended if GitHub is blocked or throttled)
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://sourceforge.net/projects/rixoffice-windows/files/latest/download" -OutFile "$HOME\Downloads\Rixoffice.Setup.1.0.2.exe"
Mirror Failover Tip: If your institutional network, corporate proxy, or ISP restricts direct GitHub file downloads, use the SourceForge Windows repository. SourceForge automatically routes your traffic through the nearest geographically optimized CDN edge. See our SourceForge Mirror & Verification Guide for hash details.

Standard Installation (Setup Wizard)

  1. Double-click Rixoffice.Setup.1.0.2.exe to launch the setup wizard.
  2. If Windows Defender SmartScreen displays a warning, click More info, then select Run anyway (standard for newly published binary releases).
  3. Follow the prompts to finish installation. A desktop shortcut and Start Menu entry will be created automatically.

Command-Line & Silent Installation (PowerShell)

System administrators and power users can perform a silent, automated installation without GUI dialogs:

powershell
# Run silent installation for current user
Start-Process -FilePath ".\Rixoffice.Setup.1.0.2.exe" -ArgumentList "/S" -Wait

The app installs into:

powershell
$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\rixoffice

Configuring File Associations

Rixoffice can act as your default handler for Office documents:

  1. Launch Rixoffice and go to Settings → File Associations.
  2. Enable default handling for .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, .pdf, or .md.
  3. Windows Settings will prompt you once to confirm Rixoffice as the default application.

Uninstalling Rixoffice on Windows

If you ever need to remove Rixoffice:

  1. Open Windows Settings → Apps → Installed apps.
  2. Search for Rixoffice, click the three-dot menu, and select Uninstall.

Or via PowerShell:

powershell
& "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\rixoffice\Uninstall Rixoffice.exe" /S

Quick steps

  1. Download Rixoffice.Setup.1.0.0.exe from the download page or via the direct link.
  2. Run the downloaded installer and follow the setup wizard.
  3. Launch Rixoffice from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.
  4. Sign in or continue offline — both work from the first launch.
