Welcome to the VIA Driver Download Portal. To obtain the latest available version of your VIA driver, please follow the steps below. If you are using Windows ® 7, 8, 8.1 or 10, please refer to our Driver & Support FAQ for detailed driver information. Download Firmware drivers for Windows, firmware, bios, tools, utilities.
Using ionCube encoded and secured PHP files requires a file called the ionCube Loader to be installed on the web server and made available to PHP. PHP can use the Loader with one line added to a PHP configuration file (php.ini). An automated Installer and Wizard are available to help with install, as well as manual instructions. Loaders are for 32 and 64 bit x86 based systems unless otherwise specified. The Windows non-TS Loaders are for use on a Windows system where a phpinfo page shows that PHP is built with thread safety disabled.
If you need Loaders for platforms not mentioned please contact us. Note that different distributions of Linux, e.g. CentOS, SuSE, Debian, RedHat etc. are all covered by the 32 and 64 bit Linux Loaders.
Installing with the Loader Wizard (recommended)
It is recommended to install a Loader using help from the Loader Wizard. The Wizard is a PHP script that when installed on a web server can give guidance specific to that machine, including which Loader file is required and what to add to the php.ini file.
Download the Loader Wizard: ZIP archive or tar.gz (.tgz) archive
To use the Wizard:
- install the script into your web space
- launch the script in your browser
Manual Install - Which Download Do I Need?
Loaders are available for many different platforms. Pick a Loader package based on your operating system and whether the PHP installation is 32 or 64 bit. If you are unsure of the server platform (e.g. Linux or FreeBSD) and whether PHP is 32 or 64 bit, your hosting company should be able to tell you. The Wizard script should also detect this correctly if you use it.
Loader Packages
Linux Loaders also include support for vulnerability protection and PHP error reporting via the ionCube24 platform.
