Update only works on Installation...cannot perform installation on Win7
As the title says, I've just got the Pro Tools 8 M-Powered and installation won't even begin. Clicking on install pro tools from the splash menu on the cd opens a new window that says "Setup.exe has stopped working." I know the 8.0.3 update will allow me to use Pro Tools on win7 but it is an UPDATE and I cannot update something that isn't installed.
What can I do to get this thing installed and updated to the win7 compatible version? |

I was able to install the Full Installer of 8.0 on Win 7 then update to 8.0.3. Re-download the 8.0 Installer and try it again. It may be corrupted.

Where can I find the full installer for 8.0? I purchased a physical CD

I bought the Digital Download from Sweetwater. You can probably register your PT on Digidesign's website, login, go to my products, and download from there.

Re: Update only works on Installation...cannot perform installation on Win7
If you register through MyDigi, you can download 8.0 through your account.
I was also able to install 8.0 on win 7 64bit Try copying the dvd to your hard drive and running the setup there. It's faster to install and less problems with the dvd errors. Edit: I don't know if when you by the physical disk, if MyDigi has the full installers, but you should def try to copy the dvd over to you hd. |

If you have PT8 registered with Digi, contact them and arrange to have the full installer for 8.0.3 placed in you account, this is a far simpler way to install.
