Chris Burke's solved the installation, question bout upgrades...

Dear Anyone.

Managed to install 1.3.7 on XP 64 bit (cheers, flags, bands start playing…!) Don’t want to rock the boat now I’ve got a version installed, so I’m asking first.

Now I’ve got SOMETHING installed, is it possible to upgrade it to the latest version without killing the original installation? I know that the failure to install is because it can’t find its own version of files it needs so it tries to use the Windows versions instead, can’t do that so crashes. Can I upgrade so I’ve got all the latest tools without making it crash because there’s more incorrect versions of files it finds along the way? I don’t want to find I’ve made it crash then, for some reason, the version that DID install WON’T reinstall! I’ve had that once, not with Audacity but with something else, managed to get around that by pure, blind, Lottery-winning luck (I wish!) and don’t want to do the same thing to Audacity.

Sorry for 2 questions. Feel free to rub my nose in any FAQs I’ve missed that answer the above, I’m not the world’s greatest at navigating websites. I’ll prob. shurrup after this!

Yours respectfully

Chris.

Does your computer’s CPU have SSE2 ?
(If you don’t know, Belarc Advisor may be able to tell you.)

If it does, you may be able to go as high as Audacity 2.1.3. I think that was the last version to officially support Windows XP.
