FreeCAD_0.19.16523_x64_Conda_Py3QT5-WinVS2015.7z or FreeCAD_0.19.16523_x64_LP_12.1.2_PY3QT5-WinVS2015.7z I wouldn't say either is recommended. The advantage of the Conda based builds is that it uses the same versions of all the dependencies as the .AppImage and .dmg, so is good for comparing differ...

Others know more about the installation scripts I don't think much can be done at installation. The location of the .FreeCAD stuff is in the FreeCAD source, baked into the executable. A starter script or batch file or editing the properties of a desktop icon or shortcut is probably the way to go. @...

Is there a reason to dismiss Gmsh and CCX binaries.
Can't find them in this package

I'll be adding all the extras to the bundle as I test them. I'll try to get these two in the next iteration.

The problem here seems to be QT5/PY3 related. drawingdimensioning and assembly2 have been orphaned and are do not support porti...

Just downloaded it and tried to run it but I still get the same errors as before. Sorry, can you try again now? I uploaded and downloaded and tested, so I think it's fixed. Does the bin directory have the sub-directory platforms which then includes qwindows.dll? On a system where you have compiled ...

Anyone have a clue how to solve this?

This should be fixed, can you try again?

Unify what? Sorry for being so un-clear. I had actually confused myself. I mistakingly thought the links to download FreeCAD on the homepage pointed to the wiki download page.

The 64 bit build uses msvcr14 now and indeed the files are missing. I will fix this. Thanks for reporting.

Getting ready for the 018.1 release announcement I have been updating the links on the downloads page.
