2016 Install Errors - Win 10 Pro
 

Pic attached....appears to be an issue with the FaceBook Spatial components or an install script error. I get 4 or 5 MORE errors going to the same directory after this one. Checked the directories and the files exist,. Permissions are fine. Ran the install as Admin as I usually do. Also getting 1310 "access errors" with files installing to various "Presets" Directories.

Went back to installing 2021.3.1. SAME DAMN ERRORS SO PT IS DEAD IN THE WATER ON MY SYSTEM!

Never had this before...What gives?

SOOOO Happy I have Studio One 5. My PT subscription runs out soon. Unless this gets fixed it goes in the dumper and it's "Hasta La Vista Avid".

just hit ignore

Did that...install fails and the only option is to roll back and exit the installer.

This is a Win 10 system. Doesn't PT create an Installer log file? If so anyone know
what DIR it is created in?

When Pro Tools installation stalls at FB360 Spatial Workstation:
I’m assuming you also hit the “Retry” button …

Could be a corrupt installer – try downloading it again directly from your Avid Master Account


At the end of your next Pro Tools 2021.6 install, tick the box to “Show the Windows Installer log” location – this one’s called: “AvidProTools2021.6 Install – Notepad”
You can save it anywhere – or here:
C:\Program Files\Avid\Pro Tools\LogFiles


Uninstall your existing Pro Tools 2021.6 and everything that came with it (sort by date to view in Windows Programs & Features) - and remove the Avid 2021.6 stock plug-ins from the AAX 64 folder
Run CCleaner, then in CCleaner’s Registry section, scan for issues (save backups when prompted) – might take 3 or 4 scans before “no issues found”

Restart computer

Go offline – disable Network
Disable any anti-virus/background apps/etc.

Install (a fresh download of) Pro Tools 2021.6

Restart computer

As I don't use them - I uninstall FB360 Spatial Workstation and remove the 5 @ FB360 Spatial Workstation plug-ins from the AAX folder - I also uninstall Cloud Client Services - I run Avid Link once to check for any plug-in updates, then uninstall it, too

Restart computer

Launch Pro Tools

Pro Tools 2021.6 is working fine here and elsewhere on Windows 10 - for better advice, if you're still hitting a brick wall ... post a free SiSoft Sandra Lite report ... reckon it's well worth persevering to have both Pro Tools and SO5 - seems like it's "the best of both worlds"!

FWIW, I have none of these issues with Win 10 and any recent version of PT. Also, FWIW, I stopped using the "Run as Admin" bit over a year ago and have had no issues from that either. I suspect that to be a hold over from the Win 7 days and its no longer recommended(at least by me). I agree on downloading again as I have had bad downloads before.:o

Re: 2016 Install Errors - Win 10 Pro
 

I once had a botched PT install that wouldn't let me uninstall or reinstall without failing and had to use the Microsoft Install Tool to fix it.

First I would uninstall PT the best you can and remove any traces of it in Program Files. Next try running the install fixer tool, then try a fresh 2020 install. Hopefully it helps your system too.

After some investigating via Google, the latest Win 10 update appears to "handcuff" some Installers and you need to add the particular app you're trying
to install to a "Trusted Programs" list in the damn security center! Then it works. MS keeps farking with systems with their updates and is getting to be a REAL PITA!
