Hi,

What version of Windows are you using?

If you look in that folder, what is the file size of avcodec-58.dll?

Greg


Do you have all these files?

Hi,

They should be here:

C:\ProgramData\Acoustica\Mixcraft\installations\238

The tricky part is that the ProgramData folder is a system folder that may be hidden if you have that setting on in Windows, but you can just copy and paste the pathname into File Explorer to find it.

Hi,

It sounds like it only got partially installed. If you check for updates, are there some updates to install? The stem separation requires three different updates.

Hi,

When it shows the update screen, you don't have any un-checked updates? if you do, you could select them to get them to download.

You've got plenty of hard drive space, I presume?

Can you please send us the install.log files from these three folders (assuming they exist)?

C:\ProgramData\Acoustica\Mixcraft\installations\236
C:\ProgramData\Acoustica\Mixcraft\installations\238
C:\ProgramData\Acoustica\Mixcraft\installations\241

Send in a support ticket and attach them here: https://acoustica.kayako.com/conversation/new

Hi,

Okay, so for some reason it didn't get installed completely. You can force it to try again by deleting some files in this folder:
C:\ProgramData\Acoustica\Mixcraft\download_records

Quit Mixcraft, then delete these files:

236.txt
238.txt
241.txt

Once those are deleted, start up Mixcraft and check for updates again.

Hi,

You're right-clicking on an audio clip, correct? Just like in your screenshot?

The option would look like this:

Separate into stems option.

Hi,

That may mean that it still didn't install fully. Do you have those install logs now?
