…although you probably named your I7 apps something slightly different, so you’ll have to adjust that.
On Windows I believe the filenames are “inform-632.exe” and “inform6.exe”.
This will not require any changes in your code, except possibly updating the memory settings. The only behavior change will be that the I6 compiler won’t crash, and will properly report memory setting overruns so that you can update them.
Find the directory containing the older I6 compiler executable (a file called “inform-632.exe”). The typical location on Windows 7 would be C:\Program Files (x86)\Inform 7\Compilers\ - you can use the Windows search function to find the file if you don’t see it there
Rename the current executable from “inform-632.exe” to something else, like “inform-632-orig.exe” (so you can change back, if desired)
Extract the new version of the executable from its ZIP file to the same folder – the new file is called “inform6.exe”
Rename the extracted file from “inform6.exe” to “inform-632.exe”
That should do the trick! Open up an Inform 7 project and click the “Go” button to test.
