[UPDATED] Download Windows Vista Sp1
Doreatha Conneely
Hi
im new on here and new to online recording software. i downloaded audacity to my PC running Windows vista but the program wont open. very frustrating.
I seen a post on here saying you need to download Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015.
i went on there but it has this and i dont know which i should download.
File Name
vc_redist.x64.exe File Size 13.9 MB
@lcrusoe I found a workaround for this. My laptop is running windows Vista and I had the same issue. What you need to do is right click on the setup.exe and hit properties. Then, you need to go to the compatibility tab. Then, "enable compatibility mode", and select "windows XP SP2", and also "run as administrator". Then, it should be able to install as normal. Hope this helps!
open your download folder, find spotify download, drag to your desktop- right click-properties-compatibilty-run as administrtor(make sure to click apply) brings you back to compatibilty-run in compatibilty mode-make sure windows xp is selcted-click apply- click OK-double click same spotify folder, worked for me and still working great, note i havent got a notfication to update but if you do i would NOT try and update spotify. let me know if this works for you.
