Hello everyone,
As mentioned in an old thread from years ago, running this program on newer Windows versions is nearly impossible. Additionally, the original installation files are no longer available on the official website and you can no longer purchase it.
After searching through my dad´s old computers, I found .iso files of the program and was able to make it work NO USB KEY needed. This has been tested and confirmed to work on:
To simplify the process for everyone, I decided to upload only the necessary files—this way, installation is as easy as copying and pasting folders.

As mentioned in an old thread from years ago, running this program on newer Windows versions is nearly impossible. Additionally, the original installation files are no longer available on the official website and you can no longer purchase it.
After searching through my dad´s old computers, I found .iso files of the program and was able to make it work NO USB KEY needed. This has been tested and confirmed to work on:
- Windows 11 (64-bit)
- Windows 10 (64-bit)
- Windows 7 (32-bit & 64-bit)
- Windows XP
Installation Steps
- Download the "LinearX Leap5 + FilterShop.rar" uploaded to Google Drive. It contains two folders: "LEAP" and "FilterShop".
- Extract the .rar file and move both folders to C:/Program Files/.
- Inside the "LEAP" folder:
- LEAP_XVR.exe → Crossover Shop 5.1.0.334
- LEAP_ENC.exe → Enclosure Shop 5.2.0.350
- Inside the "FilterShop" folder:
- Fshop.exe → Filter Shop 3.4.0.808
Important: Fixing the "System Error: Number Decimal Symbol is Not a Decimal Point"
Before opening the programs, it is necessary to change the decimal symbol in Windows from a comma (",") to a dot ("."), as the software requires this setting to function correctly.Steps to change the decimal symbol:
- Open Control Panel.
- Navigate to Clock and Region → Change date, time, or number formats.
- Click Additional Settings.
- Find the "Decimal symbol" field and change it from , (comma) to . (dot).
To simplify the process for everyone, I decided to upload only the necessary files—this way, installation is as easy as copying and pasting folders.

Thank You.
I bought LEAP5 when it came out. Had been using 3&4 before that.
I still have the dongle and a working WinXP machine but it's a pain to use that combo nowadays....
Now I just have to copy some 23 years worth of design files . . .

This is amazing, thank you guys so much, its like finding a lost friend!
I'm running win 11, I did not see an option for changing the commas to periods in the date menu so I just changed them manually and hit apply, not sure if this is the correct way to do it but I am not getting any error messages.
So much fun, thanks again!

Thank you so much for this generous and extraordinary addition.
I have the original LEAP5 Crossovershop running on my 2006 HP under Windows XP with USB key and all.
Every time I start it up, I fear something will not run correctly, or that by accident the key gets broken.
By your effort I now have the possibility to run the program for the foreseeable future on more modern machines.
Thank you 😊
