Update Slimjet and KEEP older version as well?

Post by Kewpycat »

Is there a way to install the latest version of Slimjet and ALSO keep an earlier version available when needed?

I'm still on Ver. 29.0.3.0 because I NEED Quickfil for some sites, but I'd like to install the latest version and use that most of the time, keeping the option of using Ver. 29, when I need to use Quickfil.

You would need to have two profiles.

Since your not updating 29.03 run that version from the standalone and you should be able to run the current version alongside it from a normal installation.

Ok, so where do I find the "Standalone"?

I looked on the download page, but didn't find it. Then I went to "older" versions, but didn't see anything called "Standalone". And when I click on "Portable Version", Malwarebytes blocks it due to "Malicious download".

And, once I do find it, can I assume that I update my "installed" version and then when I need it, I can run ver. 29 seperately and alongside it?

Thank you.

Anyway, I think it is this one for 64 bit installation http://www.slimjetbrowser.com/release/a ... 7z_x64.exe

And this one for 32 bit installation http://www.slimjetbrowser.com/release/a ... 7z_x86.exe

I keep getting a Malwarebytes warning page when I click on either of the 2 links you posted. Is that a "false" warning?

And if so, are the files that the links point to "compressed" files that unzip when clicked on?

I scanned the x86 with Virus Total and with the anti-virus on my computer. I didn't see or get a warning. Looks like a false positive from Malewarebytes.

Need a little help please.
Seems like the link(s) you posted; all it did was revert Ver. 32 back to ver. 29. So now, I'm not sure what "standalone" means.

As I originally posted, I'd like to have BOTH versions available for use, with Ver. 32 the "default". Not sure how to get that to happen.
Thank you.
