My OS is Windows XP. I have downloaded Audacity 2.0.5 (audacity-win-2.0.5.exe) from the official Audacity site. When I try to run the program, I get the following error:
"Unable to execute file: C:Program FilesAudacityaudacity.exe.
CreateProcess failed; code 14001
This application has failed to start because the application configuration
is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."
I have never seen this error message before. Reinstalling the application failed to eliminate the problem.
I have installed version 2.0.5 in the past with no problems.
