Okay, let it be known that I'm basically the dumbest bitch alive hence why im having this issue.

so basically I'm stuck in a loop of installing the program over and over but it never appearing ANYWHERE on my computer, only the stupid little installation wizard who mocks my bimboness. I literally do not know why it's happening or how to fix it, but i assume it has something to do with file location, or maybe i even fucked up and downloaded an incompatitble version of the program, who knows really?? all i wanna do is make shitty emo music about childhood trauma so please help an idiot out.

also don't go around using tech terms unless you're willing to explain what they mean, i'm so fucking tech illiterate you have no idea. also sorry for my sour demeanor i've been going through it lately and this is basically the straw breaking the camels back, I can answer basically any clarifying questions given enough time, like I said I'm super tech illiterate.

No need for that :)
we do not accept the idea of noobiness or 'stupid questions'
Questions are asked because answers are needed

I assume you are on windows? My guess is that the program is installed, but no shortcut is made on your desktop
I hope it wont lead to multiple copy-installations, that you have tried to install several times, it should not, unless you have changed the installation folder, if so we will fix that too.

The program will install itself in Program-files:
C:\Program Files\LMMS
Type that into explorer, that should open the folder
In that folder you find the lmms.exe program-file -it has a green icon
Make a shortcut and drag or copy it to your desktop.
Double-click the shortcut. That should open your lmms!
In case this fails please post your:
* Name of your Operative System (Windows/ Linux/ Mac) And subtype (Home' 'Mint' '10.13' aso)
* lmms version, and the site where you got it from

Wrong version, that one is very old, back then windows 10 did not exist yet.

The right place to download LMMS from is this one.

https://lmms.io/download#windows

First uninstall LMMS then download the newer version and install that one. :)

Here is a guide for how to make an update of an old lmms-installation:

Follow that, and install 1.2.2!
Let us know the outcome :)
