Download Writer's Café 2

Windows | Mac | Linux | FreeBSD | Solaris | HelpView | Forty Thieves

Download the latest Writer's Café 2 release here. Until registered, it will act as a demonstration with a few limitations. You can read what's new. For the previous release of Writer's Café, see Writer's Café 1 Downloads.

You can uninstall the old version first if you wish (on Windows, from the Start menu or Control Panel). Or you can use Check for Updates on the Help menu, which will download an update if there is one. You can specify the same folder when installing each time. If in doubt, you can download and install Writer's Café in the usual way.

Please see Release Notes for what's new in this release.

Writer's Café version 1 users: please see the upgrade page for information about upgrading.

Note for German users: Writer's Café contains a German translation for the user interface and the e-book, Fiction: The Facts. The manual and other material is being translated and will be available in a free update later this year.

Writer's Café for Windows is about 10 MB in size. You need about 30 MB of disk space.

Vista users: if when running Writer's Café you see error messages about a resource load failure, please install Writer's Café into a folder other than Program Files, or adjust permissions for the Program Files folder.

Please note that due to an increase in the number of graphical resources Writer's Café 2 uses, Windows 95/98/ME are not supported. If you are still using one of these older operating systems, now would be a good time to upgrade to a new version of Windows, or Linux, or a Mac. You may find that Linux runs fine on your old PC, giving it a new lease of life.
