DISCLAIMER

Notice we're at this point officially dropping support for Windows XP.

You guys may have already read the interview Galleon gave to the Pcopy! magazine, issue 70, way back in 2008, talking about the why behind QB64 (if you haven't here's the archived link to it: https://web.archive.org/web/20080821183950/http://www.basicprogramming.org/pcopy/issue70/#galleoninterview)

Since QB64 was born out of the need to preserve the BASIC language and allow it to run on modern Operating Systems, it makes no sense to keep dedicating extra effort to keep us compatible with an operating system that's not even supported by its maker anymore.

QB64 v1.5 will still run with no issues in Windows XP.
Version 2.0.1 and up will continue to run with no issues in Windows Vista and up.
In Windows XP 32-bit, you will still be able to run v2.0.1 by downloading the separate package below, but we won't be offering support for that platform any longer.

Download links:

Download the right package for your Operating System.

For Windows, both .7z and .zip archives are offered (no difference in contents, but the 7-Zip package is much more compact)
You will need 7-zip to unpack the .7z archive in Windows.
