2.1.3 for XP?

Post by mikeborok » Thu Jan 04, 2018 1:20 am

Per the Wiki, version 2.1.3 is compatible with my XP SSE2 CPU; 2.21 is not. But I don't see anywhere that 2.1.3 can be downloaded. Looking at the Legacy Downloads page, it says that 2.0.6 is ok for XP without SSE2 or service pack 3 - is this also the correct version for my XP/SSE2/service pack 3 system?

Also - I currently have version 1.2.6 installed... will the new version overwrite this? My concern is that if there is a problem with a new download, I might not be able to get back to 1.2.6.

Thanks.

Mike

Thanks - and what about this?

Also - I currently have version 1.2.6 installed... will the new version overwrite this? My concern is that if there is a problem with a new download, I might not be able to get back to 1.2.6.

Yes, installing 2.1.3 will overwrite 1.2.6. That's why I gave you a link for 1.2.6 as well.

2.1.3 isn't available there or anywhere I look.

FossHub have reorganised their site since January 2018 (when the previous links were posted).

There are now some old versions of Audacity here: https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity-old.html
