Re: Installing new version
Noted, thanks. I am curious about the zip option. Wouldn't you still need to run an exe from inside the zipped version? Or is it portable?

Re: Installing new version
You asked about installation. For that, download and run the installer, not the ZIP.jack magee wrote:I am curious about the zip option. Wouldn't you still need to run an exe from inside the zipped version? Or is it portable?
If you use the ZIP, after extracting all the files from the ZIP, just double-click on "audacity.exe" to launch Audacity. That "audacity.exe" is Audacity itself. There is no installer (such as audacity-win-2.1.2.exe) inside the ZIP file.
