Audacity 2.4.2 on Windows is a 32-bit program. This error can occur, for example, if you are trying to run a 64-bit plugin with a 32-bit Windows. You will need to install a 32-bit version of Leslie. See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/ins ... ndows.html

To remove the old version of Leslie from your menu, you can locate your plugin under Tools>Add/Remove Plugins.., click Disable, and OK, then remove it from your plugins folder.

I hope this helps. :D
