[Fixed] AudacityPortable 2.01 will not start
steve_gutry - July 6, 2012 - 1:41am
System: Windows XP pro SP2.
AudacityPortable 2.01 installed into the default directory under PortableApps.
When starting, the splash screen shows and the hard disk light flashes for a short time, them nothing.

Confirmed
I can confirm this on a clean Windows XP SP3 box. Likely Audacity bundled the incorrect Visual C runtime again and we missed fixing it when packaging. I'll have an update done shortly.
Side note: You really should install SP3 as SP2 support ended years ago.
Update: That was the issue. Fix is built and mirroring. Posting shortly.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Fixed in 2.0.1 Rev 2
This is fixed in Audacity Portable 2.0.1 Rev 2. We'll be double-checking releases in the future to ensure this doesn't happen again.
