i About this build

For Windows 10 and 11. Unzip and go. Note this is MCPRO 2.3 from June 2014 — a major version behind the Linux build, and the only Windows MCPRO that exists.

Two things to know: it is version 2.3, not 3.3, and it is untested by us.

Manuals: MCPRO 2.3. The newest manual written is for 3.2 and ships inside the Linux download as MCPROman320.pdf — there is no 3.3 manual.

2. Which licence applies to you?

Please read the one that covers your use before accepting it.

Non-profit / academic Read the licence (PDF) Install and use on any computers in one department of a college, university or other non-profit organization. More than one department needs a multi-department or site licence. Commercial / for-profit Read the licence (PDF) For use in a commercial organization, within a one-mile radius of a single location. Cemcomco LLC sells this licence — please read it before installing, and contact us if your use falls under it.

I have read the licence I selected and I accept it. I understand that ticking this box is my acceptance of these terms, with the same effect as a signature.

Installing it

Install it, step by step.

Windows

Extract the zip somewhere with a short path

Extract MCPRO23w.zip near the top of a drive so you end up with C:\mcpro. Avoid deep folders and OneDrive paths.
```
rem In File Explorer: right-click MCPRO23w.zip → Extract All → C:\
rem You should now have C:\mcpro with mcpro.exe inside
```
Read the bundled readme first

mcpro\00README.txt is the Windows-specific guide for this build and is the authority on setup — it is the June 2014 2.3 release note, not the Linux instructions.
```
notepad C:\mcpro\00README.txt
```
Know which version this is

This is MCPRO 2.3 from June 2014. The Linux download on this site is 3.3. If a paper or a colleague's input files assume 3.x behaviour, the Windows build may not match.
```
rem nothing to run — just be aware of the version gap
```

Worth knowing before you start: we have not run either MCPRO build ourselves, so these steps come from the bundled readme rather than from a run of our own. MCPRO shares BOSS's habit of printing success after a step has failed — check that the files you expected are actually there and not zero bytes. If you get it working, tell us and we will say so here.
