Pro Tools will not Install - How do You Download Windows XP Updates from Avid
I actually have Pro Tools 8 I believe. I have Windows XP, and am getting error messages when trying to install the Pro Tools 8. I was told I need to download some Win XP updates from the Avid webiste, but I cannot see where they would be located after going to the site. Thank you.
Also...Anyone know how to tell which Pro Tools Version you have BEFORE you have installed it. The install disc itself only has this number, 'Version 061510', it does not say if it is Pro Toolls 8, 9 or 10. I bought the M-Audio box and this software came with it, in about January 2012. Thank you! Dave |

The exact error message please.
Are your Windows updates up to date?

Make sure your machine is up to date at Microsoft Update. You want to check for the optional MS updates also since you might be behind on a framework like .NET. Any MS components PT needs it should install if they are missing. An example here would be PTLE 8.0 installing a couple of Visual Studio patches while installing Pro Tools. Knowing the exact error would help immensely. Note: I googled "061510" and came with a Post for Pro Tools SE over at the new MAudio Forum. From the post its not clear whether 061510 is referring to the version number or part number on the interface. I'm assuming its printed on the disk?

If he bought an M-Audio box, then he should have/needs M-Powered, not Pro Tools LE.

Earlier versions would some times throw a error message about missing windows components that was referencing the old Windows Media Encoder program. For whatever reason it would do this on a second install or repair install rarely the original install. It's also very possible he saying Windows Updates when he means Pro Tools updates.
