Install questions
Four things people ask on day one
Is the download safe?
The installer is the official signed build. You can verify the file size (53.1 MB) and the digital signature in the file properties before running it. We never wrap installers in download managers.
Do I need to uninstall the old version?
No. Installing a newer build over an existing one keeps your settings, skins and playlists. A clean install is only needed if you are switching architecture.
Will it change my file associations?
Only the formats you tick during setup. You can change or revert them at any time in Settings, under Association.
Can I install it on a USB drive?
Yes. Choose a folder on the removable drive during setup and the player runs portably, keeping its settings in the same folder.
