64 Bit Windows won't start

When I try to start WL7 64 in Windows 10, the program doesn’t execute. If I look at TaskMgr, Wavelab.exe appears for 2 seconds, then disappears.

The 32 bit version works as usual.

Perhaps related: this started after I had trouble installing the WL9 trial. See this topic:

How do I fix this?

TIA,

Anyone? PG?

No idea, sorry. WaveLab 7 was never tested for Windows 10.

What about where you wrote:

Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe), and then create the following path and keys in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer

Create keys:
Logging : voicewarmupx
Debug=dword:00000007

Quit Regedt32.exe

Try to install WaveLab.

Is it possible that ‘undoing’ those changes might help?

I don’t think so, because the installer of WaveLab 9 is a different technology that in past WaveLab versions.
This means, the parameter you mention, should have no influence.
BTW, not tempted to switch to WaveLab 9?

I -am- tempted to get WL9. I’m broke right now. So far, I’m having no trouble using the 32 bit version of WL7 so I guess I’m OK until I can get the upgrade.

I have to say that it’s disconcerting for it to stop working right after I ran the WL9 install. It -was- working fine under Windows 10. I understand it’s not your responsibility -but- things don’t happen for no reason…

Best,

PG: Where are the logs stored when Windows creates a Problem Report? I just noticed that Windows Problem Reporter is firing up when I try to start WL7/64.

TIA,

Not sure, but try to run eventvwr.msc

Below are 3 events from the Event Viewer.

  1. Seems to be an error generated from WL7/32… although WL7/32 does run properly. This may be unrelated to the problem I’m having with WL7/64 but I include it for thoroughness.

  2. Is the Information event raised when I try to start WL7/64.

  3. Is the actual Error event raised at exactly the same moment when I try to start WL7/64.

Hope these give you some insight.

Thanks in advance,

—JC

No clue. In one of the report, some Waves module is involved, though.
Anyway, you say WL7/32 is running fine isn’t it?

Resolved. The solution was to RE-install the Windows 8 patch.

I have no idea why it worked. Just tried it as a Hail Mary, thinking that the WL9 installer had ‘undone’ something.
