Installation Crashes out 2

Post by capant »

Hi!

Real excited about the new Mixcraft 5!

However I can't install the beta, it crashes out when creating files with a messgae that a temporary file has stopped working! The name of the file changes with each attempt to install. I am running Windows Vista Home premium on a Acer laptop with AMD Turion 2 Ultra CPU and 4 GB of Ram.

I have tried various options in compatability mode and running Administrator rights etc but no luck.

Any help much appreciated!

Great! I hope it will be soon. I can't wait to try out this beta, but first I need a working installer! LOL!

With peace,

Instruments are missing, but anyway you can get a glimpse on MC5 :)
So in explorer go to C:\Program Files\Acoustica Mixcraft 5\mixcraft5.exe and double-click to run MC5.

Yup, we posted a new beta with a fix to the installer.

There might be another fix in there, too, related to video.

Dear Beta Team,

Since this was the first beta, we expected some show stoppers...and there was one, in particular, that required another email to the entire team.

If you cannot even run Mixcraft 5 due to an error message "The application failed to start due to error code...blah blah", then you should download and copy the following file "acuvidtl.dll" into your Mixcraft folder.

ftp://ftp.acoustica.com/beta/mix5-fail- ... uvidtl.dll

It should replace the old version and Windows should ask if you are sure you want to replace the file. (If you are on Vista, it may ask several times...but that's Vista. ;-) )

Thanks for your help and we will get to your emails.

Best Regards,
-Joseph
