The MinGW 32bit of Qt 5.9 we've used so far doesn't support WebEngine, needed for the Start Center, after the previously used methods via WebView got discontinued after Qt 5.4.
The 32bit MSVC of (at least) Qt 5.9 produces a MuseScore.exe that is way too slow.
The next LTS (Long Term Support) release of Qt, 5.12, will no longer have a MinGW 32bit environment.
Maybe we can get ABL to provide 32bit builds, in the same manner as he provided 64bit builds for MuseScore 2.x. We'll see, when we get there.
Controlling two PCs is too demanding for my surviving neurons ;-)
Maybe it's actually working, somewhere in the meanders of Windows.
I will make some other attempts.
Thx.
Guess what a person is that calls others idiots, and apparently without having any clue about the reasons, even if they had been explaind here in great detail.
Some of those reasons no longer hold though. And MuseScore 3.0.5 is available for 32bit Windows (7 and later)

Indeed. And most probably there won't be any 32bit bundles anymore.

I feared it. This is not good news :(
Edit
And, on a Win7 64bit, I have not yet managed to start the Alpha (but that's another story)

Did you extract the files from the archive? Or are you trying to run MuseScore from the archive without extracting it first?

Extract. Do not worry about me.

On this old pc (ex Vista 32 bit) I can use the 2.0.3, 3.0.4 and also the Nightly.
I migrated to Mint, installed in parallel.
