B4J Question Request: B4J version 8.90 installer

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on a legacy B4J project that was developed using version 8.90 of the IDE. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the installer for this specific version anywhere online or on the Wayback Machine.

Could anyone please provide a working link or share the B4J 8.90 installer (B4J.exe)?

It would be a huge help to continue development and ensure compatibility.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Herbeth Lucas

It does not make sense to use an old B4J Version.
It may in some weird cases, were a core lib had some methods that later were suppressed.... Still, it should NOT be use as a way to maintain code, but as a stepping stone in order to bring old code into newer IDE versions.
Core libs are over 95% backward compatible, but there were some keywords that were "reitired" like DoEvents, and the new function does not reflet the same exact behavior. But as I stated, Maintaining OLD code bases is quicksand and if you don't bring it up to newer safer code base, you will sooner or later be having to start over from scratch instead of picking up from a code base.

That will always point to the latest version, it's not a permanent link to a specific version
