The WebAcappella Fusion Windows installer has just been updated and is now 64-bit. This update brings several tangible benefits for users, including better compatibility with recent versions of Windows.
Why this update?
The new 64-bit installer offers better compatibility with recent versions of Windows (Windows 10 and Windows 11), native support for modern 64-bit systems, and benefits from the latest security optimizations.
This modernization is part of the ongoing transition of WebAcappella Fusion to a fully 64-bit architecture on Windows, which began in January 2024. The installer naturally follows the same path.
What this means for you
Installing and updating WebAcappella Fusion remains transparent to the user. The process is exactly what you’re used to: download the file, run it, and follow the steps. No special action is required on your part.
A small transition note to be aware of
During this transition from the old to the new installer, two installations of WebAcappella Fusion may coexist on your machine, in two different folders.
Specifically, if you had WebAcappella Fusion installed using the old installer, installing the new version will create a new installation folder without automatically uninstalling the old version.
This situation is temporary and specific to this one-time transition. Once the new version is installed and verified, you can uninstall the old version via the Windows Control Panel. Your projects, settings, and license are not affected—they are stored separately from the application itself.
How to uninstall the old version
- Verify that the new version is working properly
- Open the Windows Control Panel
- Go to "Programs" > "Programs and Features"
- Find the old version of WebAcappella Fusion in the list
- Click on it, then click "Uninstall"
- Confirm the uninstallation
Your projects remain intact during and after uninstallation. This simply removes the old executable from your hard drive.
No impact for Mac users
This update applies only to the Windows version of WebAcappella Fusion. Mac users are not affected—the macOS installation system remains unchanged.
In summary
The switch to the new 64-bit Windows installer is an invisible upgrade for most users. The only thing to note is that during this one-time transition, you may end up with two installations in different folders—simply uninstall the old one to clear the way.
