Talk:Installing on Windows

Who can help users find Legacy version FreeCAD 16? That is still in high demand.

Why do you need to use such an old version. Why cant you use FreeCAD 0.20?: https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Release_notes_0.20

You did not reply to my question. What exactly is the problem with FreeCAD 0.20? Your link is a crude article that does not tell what the problem with a recent FreeCAD should be. It also implies that FreeCAD is now since 4 years (sic!) developing wrong. I is also a bad habit not to discuss things with the community. If you think, something is wrong, bring it to the forum or send patches.

Using a 4 year old FreeCAD is definitely not recommended and even a security risk. I also think that 100k+ downloads per month shows that FreeCAD is useful.
