Audacity Forum

I downloaded 2.2.1 and now it's working on the desktop without the dll file. But it's an older version.

I downloaded it again from a different source and this one is running. Sorry, I was not aware that Portable is not an Audacity team project.

I first had portable recommended to me on this forum a few years back. I thought it was developed by the Audacity team.

I downloaded it but it won't run because I'm missing the dll file. And I was running portable without the dll file for over a month. The reason I was running portable was because I couldn't start the regular version without the dll. It worked fine.

Yes, it is from portableapps. But I have never had a problem with it. I was running it for six weeks without the dll file. Why would I need it now? And won't I need it if I set up from the zip file as you suggest?

I tried that the first time you told me and it didn't update. I have never been able to find the portable version on the audacity site. I've downloaded it over ten times and every time it was from sourceforge or softronic. Why isn't it available directly through the audacity site?

I don't see the portable version on that page. I did download the regular desktop version but I can't open that one because I get an error that says the program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-|1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer . So I downloaded portable but maybe from softronic bec...

I think that is what is happening. My portable version starts to start and then it stops starting!

I'm downloading that now. Am I going to have to reinstall Audacity? Nevermind. It's not working.

Yeah. I don't think I have the ransom note, so this won't work. But I'll live. It's only a few aup files and I still have the earlier versions of these projects. Every few days I resave the project with a new date on it. So, I only lost a few minor edits. I think?
