Title: Cannot update My xlights ....HELP
Post by: MAGNETRON on November 26, 2020, 02:21:32 PM

I am running Windows 7 home on my xlights CPU. I have used Xlights for several years now. Whenever I update my xlights it no longer works. Either the xlights will not start up, or if it starts it crashes when Itry and save changes, or the scheduler will not work. I am having to run 2019.23 just to run my show. I am hoping someone has seen this before. Any help is appreciated!

If your computer is 32-bit Xliights no longer supports it. I had that problem & had to buy a new 64- bit computer.

I thought they'd dropped 32 bit version of xLights too. However, looking on the previous releases page, there seems to be some 32 bit versions, including one for the latest .49 version.

So, if you're still running 32 bit Win 7 (why?) then go to https://xlights.org/releases/#past (https://xlights.org/releases/#past) and manually download the latest xlights32 version (looks like they only update every 4 or 5 releases).
