Whenever I start the newly released "Audacity Portable 1.2.4b" the splash screen pops up for a second and after that Audacity Portable kills itself.
I do controll the running processes and apps with Sysinternals' Process Explorer.
The same thing happens on a USB stick and on my HD as well.
Other Portable Apps as Firefox, Thunderbird, Abiword, VLC ... run all well.
So what might be wrong with Audacity?

Just go to the Audacity website and download the newest version. I think it is 1.30 Beta and it comes in a zip file without an installer (scroll down the page and look for the file). I am using and it works fine. Maybe this version will work for you.
