I have not confirmed this personally, but I just heard from a colleague who upgraded her Makerbot software that the latest version of the Makerbot software no longer supports the Makerbot Rep 2 machine, and she also said there was no indication before she upgraded that it had limited support. Makerbot is apparently not offering any legacy downloads so she no longer has any way of driving her Rep 2.

  On her behalf, does anyone happen to have any older install file (PC version) they'd be willing to share?

I have three Makerbot Rep 2s and use the Makerbot Desktop software.  You should be able to download it from here: https://support.makerbot.com/learn/makerbot-desktop-software/release-notes/makerbot-desktop-release-notes_13520

FYI the new Makerbot Print requires creating a Makerbot account, which my middle school students can't do, so we still put Makerbot Desktop on the student image.

Hope this helps!
