Dotfuscator Community is an optional component of Visual Studio. These instructions explain how to install it.

Note

In addition to the versions of Dotfuscator Community shipped with releases of Visual Studio, PreEmptive Solutions also periodically provides updated versions on its website. If you want to download the latest version directly instead of installing from Visual Studio, click here to go to the Dotfuscator Downloads page.

Within Visual Studio

You can install Dotfuscator Community from the Visual Studio IDE:

  1. In the Quick Launch (Ctrl+Q) search bar, type dotfuscator.

    Quick Launch

  2. In the Quick Launch results shown, under the Install heading, select PreEmptive Protection - Dotfuscator (Individual Component).

    • If you instead see, under the Menus heading, Tools - PreEmptive Protection - Dotfuscator, then Dotfuscator CE is already installed. Select that option to get started.

  3. A Visual Studio Installer window will launch, pre-configured to install Dotfuscator CE.

    You may be required to provide administrator credentials to continue.

  4. In the Visual Studio Installer window, click Install.
