jimswinder Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 per the Audacity Website: Notes for Windows:Users upgrading to 2.0.x versions from 1.3.6 or earlier must download the latest version of the LAME MP3 encoder.The Windows installer for 2.0.x versions will replace 1.2.x or any previous 2.0.x installation, but install alongside legacy 1.3.x Beta versions. It is strongly recommended to uninstall previous Beta versions.You may see the error Application configuration incorrect when launching Audacity after installation. This mainly affects some Windows XP or 2000 machines. This can be fixed by downloading and installing the appropriate Microsoft "Redistributable Package" as follows:Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) for 32-bit WindowsMicrosoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) for 64-bit Windows.Be sure to get the correct package according to whether you have 32-bit or 64-bit Windows. To check, right-click over My Computer and choose Properties. If 64-bit is not mentioned, you have 32-bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
