Is there any way to keep SM 32-bit with the version 2.49.5?
Or do I have to uninstall 32-bit and install 64-bit?
SeaMonkey 2.49.5 has been released !!!

Both exist. On 64-bit Windows you can run either you prefer but it is best to not have both installed.
32-bit advantages: for a comparable workload uses less memory, has more testing by users, compatible with some 32-bit plugins
64-bit advantages: can use more virtual or real memory to prevent the most common crash - out-of-memory, may use DEP and ASLR to prevent some malware from running

Your version of Windows is 64-bit. Your version of Seamonkey is 32-bit.Peter Creasey wrote:Frank etal, nope, My system is Windows Home 64-bit.Frank Lion wrote:Peter Creasey wrote:You are on Windows 32bit.
If I have the SeaMonkey 2.49.4 32-bit, then I have to uninstall it first...is this right?
Thanks.
There's nothing wrong with "mixing bittage". You may continue to use 32-bit Seamonkey on 64-bit Windows just as you have been.
If you update to a "Windows x86" version of 2.49.5, you can just run the installer and go. If you upgrade to a "Windows x64" build, you will have to do the uninstall/reinstall dance.

Ah, thanks so much.LordOfTheBored wrote:Peter Creasey wrote:If you update to a "Windows x86" version of 2.49.5
I just went to SM Project and, yes, the Windows x86 version is the one shown there. It is a relief to know this can be the one to download for my PCs in the normal fashion.
Thank you.

There is no reason to be afraid of uninstalling, cleaning up (only in program files and x86, not anywhere else) and reinstalling. It will not affect your profile which has your data. Making backups of your profile is valuable anyway.

The certificate issue for http://www.seamonkey-project.org is known and should be fixed hopefully soon. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &t=3054846

"tar" = "Tape Archive" - from the times where you'd do your backups on an old-fashioned magnetic tapefrg wrote:> mm the .tar.bz2 are not installers but more like a zip archive
Maybe package or archive. What do you think?
You can get SeaMonkey also from the distributions' repositories. For example, OpenSUSE and Red Hat use the "rpm" format, which are packages. The package manager takes care of dependencies, in contrast to a plain archive, which are recorded in that package file (which otherwise is basically just a cpio archive).
