What you download initially is an archive that contains several files, including the setup package. These files are essential if you want to use the portable version of the program, which is found in the archive ( WinHex.exe).

If, on the other hand, you want to install this program, just run the setup package and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation procedure.

The only configurations you’ll have to make are set the installation directory and choose a language. The installation process is really quick and you will be asked if you want the program to be launched once it’s over. There are no malicious scripts bundled with the main program (viruses, Trojans, etc.) and there are no 3 rd-party advertised software in it either. Note that under Windows Vista, 2008 Server and 7 physical RAM cannot be opened, and WinHex is unable to write sectors on the partitions that contain itself and Windows. The program’s interface is simple and neat, without many graphics and a confusing layout. WinHex is divided into 3 main panes: the Case data pane (located on the left side) for displaying directory trees for a case, the pane in the middle for displaying hex data, and the pane on the right for displaying general information about the open file/device/memory.įirst of all, its main functionality is that of a disk editor. It can extract data from disks (and other storage devices, such as CD-ROMS, Flash disks, etc.) and display them hex format.
