Re: Pro Tools 10 on Windows 8??
Hey people - this is my first post here. After trying multiple fixes for getting PT10 to run under W8 I found a fairly easy way of doing it.
Simply run the PT 10.3.2 update installer (setup.exe) in compatibility mode for Windows 7 as an administrator (not the setup.exe in the "Pro Tools" folder, but the setup.exe in the "Pro Tools Installer" folder). Hope this helps. |

Re: Pro Tools 10 on Windows 8??
Just wanted to let you all know that I am now running PT 10.3 on Windows 8 Pro
I did what was suggested - installed PT 9 first, uninstalled (just the Pro Tools software, not the Digidesign Databases etc) and then installed PT10 Running fine. |

Re: Pro Tools 10 on Windows 8 - Easy...
Hi Guys,
ProTools 10.3.2 appears to work flawlessly on Windows 8 (RTM / Retail). Not sure why the fuss.. The trick is just permissions and compatibility mode for installing DLLs. To install, follow the steps below from a CLEAN system... Don't upgrade from 8 or 9!! And with Windows 8, you're strongly advised to start from clean - Not a Windows 7 upgrade!! Permissions problems will plague you! 1. Simply open the "Pro Tools Installer" install folder (NOT the menu executable). 2. Change the SETUP.exe file's Compatibility to "compatibility mode for Windows 7" 3. Change the Run mode to - Run as "Administrator" 4. Run the installer! 5. Once the installer has finished, install your drivers (in my case Factory 003) in the same way BEFORE you try and run ProTools. ie. Change the compatibility to Windows 7 and Run as Administrator before running any of the driver installers! 6. Download and do the same thing for the latest iLok drivers and client software (change compatibility AND run as administrator). 7. Go to the ProTools Application icon that's now installed - and repeat the same process. Change compatibility and Run as Administrator BEFORE you try running it... 8. NOW you should be able to run ProTools 10 happily on Windows 8. 9. Assuming this all works, repeat the above process with your plugins.. I have tested the latest versions from iZotope and Waves - and they seem fine! Do the usual Windows optimisations.. Turn off screensaver.. Check DEP is still on etc. 10. Enjoy ProTools on Windows 8.. Cheers Andy C |

Re: Pro Tools 10 on Windows 8??
hey guys
I really thought the idea on installing pt9 over pt10 was the craziest idea to make it work on win8 with the DAE error.. but...I can confirm that it WORKS!! stable, reliable, awesome. fast. weird. yes. pt9 replaces files like dae.dll and installs what looks like maps for older hardware etc. etc. so that's why it works...it basically fixes up the problems with pt10 as a download/update from avid. so there you go. sheesh!! cheers ant video dj 2greendollars - Guinness world record winning video-dj www.2greendollars.com http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3470283/ |

Re: Pro Tools 10 on Windows 8 - Easy...
Does it not work if you install the drivers first like you are supposed to?
