Scratch won't install on Win32 anymore.

A few weeks ago I tried to update Scratch Desktop to the latest version (v3.10), but the new installer wouldn't let me!
There was a popup saying “64-Bit Windows is required”, probably because I'm using a 32-Bit version of Windows 10.

I have slow internet and can't really use the online editor, so I'm stuck with an old version of the app.
I already have Scratch Desktop 3.6 installed and it works okay, but there's a lot of bugs that are probably fixed in newer versions.

Is there any place where I could get the newest version for my computer? It doesn't have to be the latest one, just newer than 3.6.

Any help is appreciated.

I probably should have put this in the “Bugs & Glitches” forums but was originally just going to ask for an older version of Scratch.

I found this: https://www.bunnyzoo.com/download.html#scratchbox
Click “Win(32位)” on the right.

I thought so. Knowing that most of Scratch 3 is programmed in HTML, it should work on almost any system.
Isn't that the reason why the ST chose that language in the first place?

Also, thanks for the download link. Who knew a single line of code could break compatibility on a bunch of computers! I hope this fixed version is out on the official download page soon, as I'm seeing many other Windows users write about the same problem.

Hang on, I just tried to install the Win32 version of Scratch that I got from the BunnyZoo website, but I get the same pop-up as the normal Scratch installer! It still says “64-Bit Windows is required” or “This program can't run on your computer”. I Even tried extracting all of Scratch's Program Files from the installer using WinRAR and the app still wouldn't run. Guess I'll just have to wait until the problem is fixed properly…

Scratch Desktop 3.7 and 3.8 might still work on 32-Bit systems. Does anyone have the installer for either of those?

I don't think any of these versions was actually released, so 3.6.0 is the newest version that works on 32-bit Windows. It looks like you just have to wait until the problem is fixed …

I'm subscribed to the GitHub issue, so I will post here if there's anything new.

That's my website. I built 32-bit for Scratch.
I found one of my mistakes, I uploaded the wrong version file. As a result, the 32-bit version is actually a 64-bit version file. I will correct this problem in time, you can continue to download the 32-bit version on this site.

So,Hope to help you

Hi! Thank you for offering your help, but this thread is pretty old - I don't think it's relevant anymore. When you respond to a topic, please make sure it's recent and the original poster still needs an answer. Thanks!
