MuseScore version 3.6.2 r.3224f34 doesn't work in my computer.
In my computer
- - (CPU: AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-66 2.30 GHz
- - RAM: 2,00 GB (useful: 1,87 GB)
- - HD: 500 GB (free: 406 GB)
- - Screen resolution: 1920 x 1200
- - O.S.: Windows 10 Pro 32 bits Version: 20H2 19042.1110)
MuseScore 2.3.2 works perfectly but I need to update to MuseScore 3 (for compatibility with other files).
I can install MuseScore 3.6.2 (32 bits) perfectly, without any problem, but then it doesn't start. Like if I didn't install it.
I had uninstalled it and installed it again several times but always it's the same: MuseScore 3 doesn't start.
Are there something wrong in my computer (like too few RAM or something else)?
I hope somebody could help me. Thank you very much.

Does the PortableApp work? It is also 32 bit.

It's a 64 bits computer but with Windows 10 Pro 32 bits, beacause I have only 2 MB of RAM.
I can't install MuseScore 3.6.2 64 bits (a message advise it's not a correct version for my PC) but I can install perfectly MuseScore 3.6.2 32 bits. But it doesn't start when I call it.

What's a PortableApp?

A version that you can put on a usb device and use without installing.

Thank you very much.
I had downloaded MuseScore-portable to OneDrive and to the HD.
I installed from OneDrive and, after a normal install process, MuseScore doesn't start.
I installed from the HD and, after a normal install process, MuseScore doesn't start neither.
So MuseScore 3.6.2 doesn't run in my computer while the 2.3.2 version works perfectly.

There's nothing to install, no 'normal install process'

The portable version can be run without installing anything on the PC. Open the folder, the program starts by double-clicking on the file MuseScorePortable.exe
Check Firewall and Antivirus permissions (Defender?).

Does it show in the taskmanager?
Can you start it using the -w commandline option?

After some hours trying to run MuseScore3 and MuseScorePortable, without any firewall, I only can say:
MuseScore3 is never shown in TaskManager. It tries to run but it doesn't reach it and TaskManager does not show it.
I've tried to execute in command line, without options and with "-w" option. Neither. Same result.
So, I will buy another PC. This is a 13-year-old computer, with only 2 GB (not expandable). But it’s the only one portable PC I have. Perhaps it’s time to buy a new one.
Thank you very much to all of you for your attention. All of you are very kind.
Also be sure to reboot just to be sure there isn't a stuck process somewhere.

Thank you very much.
I didn't say it but always, when I have this kind of problems, I use to reboot the computer every time after a difficult installation, because I want to be sure all DLLs are the right ones. So I did it but it doesn't work at all. MuseScore 3.2.6 doesn't run in my computer. MuseScore-Portable neither.

I would suggest a t least four GB Of ram. Your 32 bit system can't make use of more.
Unfortunately 32 bit systems aren't enough to run modern software.
Again, you don't "install" a portable app. You copy it to a flash drive and double click it, You can also copy it to your hard drive and run it from there.
My guess is that your computer is about 8 years old. Pretty good that it still runs.
