This page walks you through getting Rift CE running on your Windows machine. You can either download the pre-built .exe from the GitHub releases page or build the project yourself from source using the .NET 8 SDK.

​
System requirements

If you’re building from source, you need the .NET 8 SDK instead of just the runtime. The SDK includes everything needed to compile and run the project.

​
Install Rift CE

The pre-built release is the fastest way to get started. No installer required.
1

Download the release

Go to the Rift CE releases page and download the latest RiftCE.exe.
2

Run the executable

Double-click RiftCE.exe to launch the app. Windows may show a SmartScreen prompt the first time — click More info then Run anyway.
No installer is needed. You can place RiftCE.exe anywhere on your machine and run it directly. All app data is stored separately in %LocalAppData%\RiftCE\, not next to the executable.

​
Data storage

Rift CE stores all application data — account vault, settings, activity logs — in: 
%LocalAppData%\RiftCE\
Paste that path into Windows Explorer’s address bar to open the folder. Your vault file is encrypted with Windows DPAPI and is scoped to your Windows user profile.
