When installing REW on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 or 8.1 you may encounter a somewhat cryptic error message: "The program can't start because api-ms-win-core-timezone-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.". This is caused by the Java runtime using components from the Windows Universal C Runtime which are not present on older Windows installations. To fix it see this Microsoft knowledge base article, KB2999226 or for 32-bit Windows XP use the Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes AIO Repack v19 2019-04-24.

V5.20 beta 9 changes, detailed here:
- Reduced warning threshold for timing reference to -45 dBFS (from -30dBFS) and only show the warning once in a session
- Added a window selection for the stepped sine dialog, Rectangular recommended when the generator and input are on the same device
- Added an option to show or hide the filter numbers along the top of the EQ window's filter adjust graph
- Added a warning in the help about using long sweeps if input and output are not on the same device due to potential problems from sample clock differences
- Added a soundcard input impedance setting on the Measure dialog for impedance measurements
- Added view preferences for keeping the SPL meter, VU meters and signal generator on top of other windows
- Bug fix: Output level control didn't increment or decrement properly on the volts scale for small voltages
- Bug fix: If a measurement was opened while on the waterfall or spectrogram graph the waterfall or spectrogram would be generated but not displayed
- Bug fix: Timing signal detection could fail despite good signal level
- Bug fix: Waterfall and spectrogram generation could be incomplete on some devices
- Bug fix: Stepped sine did not operate correctly with 0% overlap for FFT lengths above 64k
- Bug fix: UMM-6 volume compensation was incorrect on macOS
- Bug fix: SPL limit on Measure dialog couldn't be adjusted
V5.20 beta 8:
- Don't show smoothing selection on captured graph images, any smoothing selected can be seen in the legend if included
- Improved positioning of data panels on captured graph images and reduced panel opacity
- Added an option to include date and time on graph captures
- Improved icon resolution on macOS retina displays
- Added a set of icons for the dark colour scheme
- Windows installers now provide an option to allow multiple instances
- Windows installers prompt to download a Java runtime during installation if one is not available rather than including it in the installer
- Updated to JRE 1.8.0 build 202
- Bug fix: Some Scope settings were difficult to read when using the dark background
- Bug fix: If the input device did not provide any data it could be difficult to quit the Measure dialog
- Bug fix: Timing offset controls were overlaid on RLeads control if timing mode was loopback before selecting Impedance measurement
- Bug fix: Timing offset controls were disabled when measuring from file
- Bug fix: Graph capture comments were not being wrapped properly
- Bug fix: Soundcard calibration result notes were missing
- Bug fix: If FDW was enabled by default the cal files were not applied when the measurement was generated, but would be applied on any subsequent window application
