@Nocookieshere it’s because Windows 7 isn’t supported anymore, therefore you can’t download from the normal website as that is trying to install the newest. Instead you have to go manually get from the Github.

https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/tag/v1.47.186 is the one you’ll need. But beyond that, you’ll have to know which file to grab.

To copy/paste from a response by someone else:

  1. BraveBrowserStandaloneSetup.exe for win 64
  2. BraveBrowserStandaloneSetup32.exe for win 32
  3. BraveBrowserStandaloneSetupArm64.exe for win using arm 64
