Windows 7 Install

[latdyn]

Hi All

I have just bought 64 Bit machine with Windows 7 64 bit installed. when I install VideoStudio 11.5 Plus, after the install completes successfully, when I try and run the application, the vstudio.exe file is missing. I have re-installed twice, no joy. Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks

Vs 11/11.5+ was written well before Windows 7 appeared, and is not compatible with it. Even VS X2 only became fully compatible after a special patch was released -- but a patch was not released for VS 11/11.5+ and will not be. If you have Win 7 Ultimate, you could try running it in XP compatibility mode. Otherwise, I think you may be out of luck...

Thanks for the feedback

Not great news but what can one do..

Did you by chance install all the Updates & Patches for VS 11 Plus ? Of course install only those for your language, as that page provides the links for all languages. While, as Ken pointed out, there is no Win7 patch, however if you haven't installed the provided patches it may not hurt to try and see if it would run with them installed.

Also have you tried searching your computer for that file? I know with Vista, files are sometimes hidden, and placed in protected areas.

Hi Guys

Thanks for the advice but I decided to upgrade to VSX3, I downloaded the software but when I try install it gets as far as the DirectX installing and then fails with an error -9.

Any Ideas.

Cheers

Yep, try this...
If you haven't recently updated your Direct X drivers, please go HERE and download the latest version of the DirectX End User Runtimes. The most current release is dated June 2010. The file is quite large, around 95 MB. Before you run the file, first create a temp folder to extract the contents of that file into. I just call the folder for example June 2010 DirectX. When you run the downloaded file it will extract 100+ files, so you will want to have a separate folder for them, and once you're finished you can delete this folder and all those files. Once the files are extracted, look for a file called DXSETUP.exe in that folder, and run it. That will update your DirectX drivers.

DirectX is not included with any normal Windows updates. You must go to the site, download and install it manually.
