wechat-windows-versions is a repository that collects and archives historical versions of WeChat for Windows.
The project addresses the need to preserve older WeChat installer packages for Windows, specifically versions 3.x and earlier releases. It works by using GitHub Actions to automatically download the latest WeChat installer packages, compute their hash values, and commit them to the repository. For versions 3.5.0.46 and below, the project sources installers from web.archive.org since they are no longer available through official channels.
This tool suits developers or users who need to maintain access to legacy WeChat versions for Windows, whether for compatibility testing, historical reference, or systems that cannot upgrade to newer releases. The repository focuses specifically on the 3.x version line and earlier; developers working with WeChat 4.x versions or the x86 architecture should consult the related projects documented in the README, which maintain separate collections for those variants.
The project uses automated GitHub Actions workflows to keep the collection current, with the system regularly fetching new installer packages and computing their cryptographic hashes. The maintainer actively manages the repository and responds to issues, including those related to potential copyright concerns.
