I believe the encrypted installer might be an anti-tampering countermeasure. Notwithstanding, I personally don't like it, too.

License note

As of version 1.15 it's evidently dual-licensed under the Apache 2.0 and TrueCrypt License v3: http://i.imgur.com/Iz9tN3x.png

I have no understanding of the legality around that. Do you get to pick the license you like and ignore the other? Updating entry.


Testing notes

I spent some time working with Veracrypt but unfortunately ran into some issues:

• Not particularly easy to use. There's a lot of functionality and features here, which I appreciate but might be counterproductive. Security shouldn't be hard.
• Interface oddities. Multiple times while trying to generate a keyfile it cancelled out, providing no idea what went wrong. The interface just makes no sense there.
• No conversion. There is no "convert to VeraCrypt format" for TrueCrypt volumes, but the help file indicates you just have to do one of the following:
  
  •  
  • Change Volume Password
     
  • Set Header Key Derivation Algorithm
     
  • Add/Remove key files
     
  • Remove all key files
  .... I tried Add/Remove key files and Change Volume Password without success.
   
• The command line setup has changed so I wasn't able to swap for TrueCrypt with my batch file launch setup.

One good note: I do quite like their PDF user guide.

Just FYI, VeraCrypt Portable 1.17 was recently added to the PA.c offering:
http://portableapps.com/news/2016-05-24 ... 7-released

Of note, VeraCrypt no longer leaves the HKLM registry key behind in my testing. There is, however, a bug filed due to VeraCrypt leaving behind a Start Menu shortcut on every PC. It does this to allow integration with Windows' messaging thing (swipe in from the right) on Windows 10. I've suggested a workaround to the developer (track whether it exists on start and, if not, remove it on exit) and am hopeful he will implement it.

VeraCrypt v1.19 released (release notes are at https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Release Notes).

This is kind of old news, but I reckon it should be known nonetheless:

• Critical flaws found in open-source encryption software VeraCrypt
  http://www.cio.com/article/3132365/

What the article title doesn't reveal is that all shortcomings have been fixed in the latest version.

Hi all,
Well, I'm baffled as to where the Windows download is.
abc, where did you find the Download link?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/veracr ... e/download

I've tried the link with several SF mirrors and no go.

Oh where oh where is the Windows 1.20 download link?

Anyone got the answer or suggestions. Whatever will solve the dilemma is fine

Wait for it to show up here https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Downloads.html or https://launchpad.net/veracrypt/+download. Windows download isn't up on this page either. But I found a direct link elsewhere https://launchpadlibrarian.net/32613235 ... 201.20.exe

Thanx for the link. I'll add it to my list.

I was basically baffled because other dl links were at SF for 1.20 but not for Windows.

I've been using this link when and if original link isn't available...
http://files.snapfiles.com/directdl/Ver ... 201.20.exe

I've not had any downloading problems at Snapfiles just in case it's on your do not dl from here list:)

That's very odd. Adding a quick note to the entry.

There was Windows installer on SF when I updated the entry
Where do you think I get this link
Very strange
Maybe some critical bugs were spotted after release
Entry reverted

webfork,
I'm beginning to think they've started celebrating the 4th over there at VeraCrypt;)

Earlier today I went to https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Downloads.html
and version 1.20.3.4 was there, I downloaded it and it was 28661KB.

https://launchpadlibrarian.net/32613235 ... 201.20.exe

The file I downloaded stated such.

Now I stopped by there and it's back to version 1.19.

Maybe, 1.20 is buggy? Either the version is buggy or the developers need a vacation

Wishing you and everyone a safe and happy 4th of July
