Having Trouble Downloading?
Common solutions to download interruptions and installation hurdles.
⚠️ Chrome or Edge is blocking the download?
Because Album Art Downloader is an specialized .exe tool from an independent developer, browsers may flag it as “uncommonly downloaded.” This is a generic warning. Click “Keep” or “Show more > Keep anyway” to proceed. Our builds are verified MD5-clean.
ℹ️ Missing .NET Framework or DLL errors?
AAD is built on the .NET framework. If you see a 0xc000007b error or a missing DLL message, ensure you have .NET Framework 3.5 enabled in your Windows Features. Most Windows 10/11 machines will prompt you to auto-install this upon first launch.
🔄 Should I uninstall my old version first?
It is not necessary. You can install the 1.05 XUI version directly over your existing installation. Your custom settings and Scripts folder are typically preserved, but we always recommend a quick backup of your %AppData% folder before major updates.
