NZBGet can be compiled using MS Visual C++ 2015 (you can use the free Community edition) or a newer version. It is possible to compile NZBGet for Windows yourself, please note we suggest this only for more advanced NZBget users. These messages are only to inform you about changes between NZBGet version. Note : If you see messages like “Option xxx obsolete”, don’t panic. The obsolete options from the older version of the app will automatically be removed from config file.

Most of these scripts require Python which can be downloaded from. NZBGet can additionally be expanded upon via scripts.
