# Snapshot Builds
## Overview
Snapshot builds provide an easy way to access the latest builds of the `windows_exporter` project. These builds include both the `.exe` and `.msi` installer files for Windows. Snapshot builds are automatically triggered for every commit to the repository and include a unique version number containing the exact commit hash.
### Quick Access
You can directly download the latest snapshot build using the following link:
[[Download Snapshot Build](https://nightly.link/prometheus-community/windows_exporter/workflows/release.yml/master/windows_exporter_binaries.zip)](https://nightly.link/prometheus-community/windows_exporter/workflows/release.yml/master/windows_exporter_binaries.zip)
## How to Manually Download a Snapshot Build
If you prefer to download the snapshot build manually, follow these steps:
1. Open the [[GitHub Actions page](https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter/actions/workflows/release.yml?query=branch%3Amaster+is%3Asuccess)](https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter/actions/workflows/release.yml?query=branch%3Amaster+is%3Asuccess).
2. In the "Actions" table, locate the first row (corresponding to the most recent successful build on the `master` branch) and click on the bold text in the first column.
3. On the newly opened page, scroll down to the **Artifacts** section.
4. Download the file named `windows_exporter_binaries`.
## Notes
- Snapshot builds are intended for testing and may contain changes that are not yet part of an official release.
- The unique version number makes it easy to identify the specific commit associated with the build.
If you encounter any issues or have questions, feel free to open an issue in the repository or reach out via discussions.
