After I update, I can't open it on my 32-bit Windows computer
When I try to open it, it gives me an error saying "potplayer.dll is modified or hacked"

I just tried launching it both directly and via the platform in Windows 7 32-bit and it started without issue. Please include some more details including your OS version, full install path, new vs upgrade install, etc.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Windows 7 32-bit
E:\more\mine\program\Apps\PortableApps\PotPlayerPortable (on my ssd)
The latest version
(I'm sorry that I'm poor in English)
It works fine here on a similar path on a clean Windows 7 32-bit virtual machine. Please try a fresh install temporarily to your Desktop directory. Download PotPlayer Portable and run the installer, then select your Desktop directory. It'll create PotPlayerPortable there and you can try running it directly. If that works, then there's something up with either your SSD, your install of that app, or possibly malware on the machine. First, scan for viruses as you're using an insecure and unsupported version of Windows. Then, scan your SSD for errors. Next, try reinstalling PotPlayer Portable over itself like you would a upgrade a standalone app.

I've tried it, but it doesn't work either.
It is probably a problem with the software itself, because the normal version of Potplayer seems to have such an error.
At the same time, I would like to be able to download historical versions of the software on PortableApps in order to deal with some bugs.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks for all your help.
It just happened with me, when installing its said, "Potplayer.dll is modified or hacked" , then i try to uninstall it, and install the older version (beta version) with copy this link, you can install it and its coded, its worked for me in windows 7 >> https://daumpotplayer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/PotPlayerSetupbeta.exe
...should try a google sometime on 'potplayer.dll hacked or modified'.
There are pages and pages of people who have had the same issue.
Badly written installer in my opinion.
Ive come across this issue many times, on brand new Windows installs.
Nothing that I have found has fixed this dumb issue yet, other than to wipe out and re-install Windows again, and try again.
This issue started appearing back in 2017 era. And it still exists today.
