Experiment Builder Legacy Releases
The Latest Version of Experiment Builder can be found HERE.
If your stimulus display computer is running an older operating system or legacy hardware you may need a older revision of Experiment Builder. However keep in mind that you should ALWAYS be using the latest version of Experiment Builder when possible. The currently installed version of Experiment Builder does not alter the behavior of any deployed projects currently used for data collection and all versions of Experiment Builder are backward compatible, so there isn't any benefits to using an outdated version unless absolutely required for compatibility purposes. You will not have access to the latest features and bug fixes when using outdated versions of the software.
Microsoft Windows - Please see the Release History for notes on the operating system version compatibility, feature implementation, and bug fixes

When running Experiment Builder for the first time, if you see the error message “ExperimentBuilder is damaged and can’t be opened” when you try installing the software, please click the Apple logo in the top-left corner and select “System Preferences”, then go to “Security & Privacy” and under the General tab make sure “Allow apps downloaded from:" is set to “Anywhere” (you may need to click the padlock to make changes).
