Note that these main setup files do not always include the very latest versions. After you install these you may want to upgrade to latest beta versions, by running /mcupdate or manually downloading and installing the files from the Beta Downloads section.

You can safely install new versions over old - your existing keys will not be erased.

The latest full release of the Mircryption Suite package was made available on Apr 09, 2007. It includes precompiled files and full source code, along with some extras, and is available for download here as a self-installing (or manually unpackable) setup file:

• Mircryption Suite v1.19.01 - aprox. 6mb, zip-compatible exe.
  If you prefer, you can just rename this setup.exe file to .zip and unzip it as if it were a normal zip file if you prefer to unpack the files manually without using an installer.

The latest lite version, which includes only the core mircryption components (no pgp support, no log viewer) and no sources:

• Mircryption Lite v1.19.01 - aprox. 800k, zip-compatible exe.
  Remember: you don't have to run this installer, you can open it using an unzip program like winzip and extract the files manually if you prefer.

The latest xchat source code (Apr 09, 2007) is available in the suite download above (rename exe to zip and unzip), or as a standalone zip here:

• mircryption_xchatsrc.zip - includes makefiles for Linux/Unix/Windows/MacOSX. Thanks to Gregor Jehle for lots of work improving this.

For more help on installing mircryption, see the tutorials section.

Here are the instructions from the installation readme:

STEP 1:

Run the automated setup program, installing into your existing mirc directory,
OR:
Manually unzip the (sfx) setup file, and copy the contents of the InstallFiles directory directly into your mIrc directory, so that the MircryptionSuite.chm help file resides in your root mirc
directory, where you can access it from the main Help menu, and all other files reside in a subdirectory of mirc called mircryption (mirc by default is installed at C:\Mirc).

If this is an upgrade from an old version of the SUITE, you are done.

If you are upgrading from the OLD mircryption v3.x, you need to delete your old files inside your main mirc directory. These files include: mircryption.mrc, mircryption.dll, mpgp.mrc, Mpgp.dll, frontend.exe, entropyhooks.dll, prngcore.dll, smf.dll, mcboard.mrc. Then move your existing MircryptionKeys.txt file from your main mirc directory into the new mircryption subdirectory.

STEP 2:

Restart Mirc and make sure it will allow scripts and dlls: Make sure you have not disabled mirc from running dlls, by hitting alt-O for options and select the last entry, General->Lock. If the "Disable Commands->/Dll" option is checked, uncheck it. Make sure your mirc is configured to allow scripts to run by typing into any status window editbox (and then hit enter): /remote on

STEP 3A:

Tell mirc to load(install) the mircryption suite script: Type into the status window editbox (and then hitting enter): /load -rs1 mircryption/mircryption.mrc

STEP 3B:

If you want to install MircryptionBoard support (highly recommended) type: /load -rs mircryption/mcboard.mrc

STEP 3C:

If you want to install support for the Mircryption Updater script (recommended), which can check for and install mircryption updates on command, type: /load -rs mircryption/mcupdater.mrc

STEP 3D:

If you want to install the 3rd party fish key exchange addon (recommended), type: /load -rs mircryption/mcpsFishDH.mrc

STEP 4:

Hit alt-R and select menu item File->Order. Move the mircryption scripts to the top of the list, so that they are executed first among any scripts you have installed. Most conflicts with other scripts can be avoided if you perform this step(!)
