Looking for a copy of Free42 2.5.17 for Windows - Thomas Okken - 03-25-2021 10:43 PM
Every now and then, someone will ask me where they can get a copy of Free42 that runs on Windows XP. Since I don't keep backups of old versions, I have to disappoint them, but I have started to think I should put a copy of 2.5.17 (the last version that runs on XP) in my "unsupported" folder, along with all the other builds for no-longer-supported operating systems.
Could someone help me out with a copy of the original Free42Windows.zip, version 2.5.17? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Thomas

Many old versions of many of the programs on my site are available for download; you can see them if you create an account and log in.
So, for example, here is the version you are looking for:

Alas, no... That web page says 2.5.17, but the archived zip file it links to is 2.5.22. The next older archived Free42Windows.zip appears to be 2.0.14.

I just tested it, the link from Eric is the good one.
