> the 32 bit zip file works all the time for me, and doesn't need to be installed. Just unzip and run.

Since this has come up a few times now and people are quite confused, I just wanted to clarify:

There is *no* 32-bit Windows version of CHIRP-next, and there hasn't been since we started at the beginning of the year. The zip file is named "win32" because that is what a lot of non-Windows people (i.e. me) have called the platform for decades. However, that's not proper terminology for 64-bit windows and what was inside that zip file is a 64-bit (only) binary. You can see it from task manager:



I've fixed that in today's build so it's now properly referred to as "win64".

Today's installer should also run on 32-bit machines and tell the user in no uncertain terms that 64-bit is required (if anyone has a 32-bit system around to help confirm, I'd appreciate it). It also checks the OS version and makes sure you're running windows 10 or later to avoid installing it only to find it won't run.

Hopefully that will clarify things a bit for the future!
