Well, as I wait endlesslly for Sony Tech support to get around to answering (after all they are SOOOO very busy with the "well received Sony Vegas 10 - a week or two before releasing Vegas 11 - what a joke!), I thought I would post the contents of my unanswered question here, for everyone's amusement.
BTW, the latest thing I tried, after yet another try at deep-registry diving and ripping out ton's of MS stuff, was to try the good old DVDA 5.0b. Sure enough, it works fine ... I'm holding off on the image restore from 7/11/2011 because I want to rub the crappy software coding in the face of the poor shmuck who finally does respond (with a lame suggestion to try something I have already tried)
---- my support question, with updates, still sitting in a "new" state ----
Hi;
I'm a computer professional and I have already tried the fix in this link:
https://www.custcenter.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5044/kw/80131604
In addition, I have done a full uninstall, purged the registry and file system of all traces of DVDA 5.2, then re-installed.
I had been using build 124 for about a year with no problems when suddenly last week this problem started. I've even go so far as to use Win7 system restore to take my computer back to a point when the problem was not happening, but nothing fixes it.
I also use Vegas Pro 10e x64. I'm not sure if the DVDA problem started after the upgrade from 10d to 10e.
I am at the end of my rope. I can't do any DVD authoring!
Please don't just have me try things I've already done. Many other people have this Message Missing Error 0X80131604 problem, it is not confined to just DVDA Studio 5.0 (Check the various forums such as Creative Cow).
I suspect that a recent Microsoft Windows Update might be breaking DVDA.

--- first update I posted ----
As I continue to struggle, I followed this Sony KB article to the letter:
https://www.custcenter.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4535
However, it did not fix the problem, and now I have a new error, which happens immediately when I try to use DVDA to create the BD .iso:
Warning: An error occurred while writing a file.
An invalid argument was specified.
<ok>
I'm desperate to get this fixed - I have deadlines and can't get my work done!!! This is a HORRIBLE failure of the software, I'll probably open a paid incident for this IN ADDITION to insisting you follow through on this ticket.

----- 2nd update I posted -----
Hi;
I have Symantec Ghost Solution Suite (Enterprise version), and I use it regularly to make complete disk images of my C: Win7 drive. As a sanity check, I used an image that I had created on July 11, 2011 to clone a new disk, and then I made it bootable. (I have one of those external SASA bays so it is easy to swap SATA drives in and out).
When booted to the clone, DVDA 5.2 works perfectly, I just tested by burning a saved .dar BD project. This proves we have a 100% software problem and that there is nothing wrong with the hardware. Of course, I do not want to have to go back to the July 11 config and loose all the work between then and now, so we still have to fix the DVDA problem.
However, I noticed something that might have bearing on the troubleshooting. Between July 11 and a week ago when the DVDA problems started, I had grown weary of the default path to projects (steve/My Documents/DVD Architect Pro 5.2 Projects), and had created quite a few folders under c:\ such as c:\temp-dvd1 , c:\temp-BD1 , etc. This worked OK for until early September. Before I started to experience the Message Missing Error 0X80131604 , I was having very strange problems where I would prepare or prepare/burn a BD project, and part way through DVDA would tell me it "could not write a file - a file with that name already exists". I made sure that I was picking unique names that had never existed on the system, but that did not make any difference. In an effort to fix the problem, I tried deleting, re-installing, and following the various KB articles. It was only after those attempts that the Message Missing Error 0X80131604 started. Could it be that DVDA is confused about paths? I have already tried holding ctrl-shift while launching to reset everything to defaults.
In between the last time DVDA worked and the time the problems started, I had installed several other programs, all of which I have uninstalled as I work on the problem:
The Nessus network scanner (Nessus-4.4.1-amd64.msi) , The Retina Community Network Scanner from eeye.com (RetinaCommunity_EN.exe), the Latest Cam Studio (CamStudio_Setup_v2.6b_r294_(build_24Oct2010).exe) , MagniGlass screen magnifier (MagniGlassWorker_setup.zip), the latest YouTube downloader (YouTubeDownloaderSetup33.exe), the latest, an HP USB boot utility (SP27608.exe) Media Player Classic 9MPC-HomeCinema.1.5.2.3456.x64.exe), and the latest Sony PMB (PMB56_Updater1105a.exe). I mention these because some of them might have also installed things such as MS C++ redistributable or various .NET 4.x components. However, the know good configuration from July 11 does include the MD C++ 2010 and some .NET 4.0 stuff.
Hope this helps, I will do everything in my ability to help figure it out so that we can help other Vegas Pro/ DVDA customers. I still suspect a Windows auto-update broke something.
Thanks,
Steve
------ my most recent update .... notice it is not as polite and positve ...
Four days and still no answer? And the auto-response is still the lame " Vegas 10 is so popular we can't keep up with the tickets"? This a week or two before the launch of Vegas 11?!?
Does Sony really give a %^$%$# about its current customers?
COME ON ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!!!
Disgusted,
Steve
BTW, the latest thing I tried, after yet another try at deep-registry diving and ripping out ton's of MS stuff, was to try the good old DVDA 5.0b. Sure enough, it works fine ... I'm holding off on the image restore from 7/11/2011 because I want to rub the crappy software coding in the face of the poor shmuck who finally does respond (with a lame suggestion to try something I have already tried)
---- my support question, with updates, still sitting in a "new" state ----
Hi;
I'm a computer professional and I have already tried the fix in this link:
https://www.custcenter.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5044/kw/80131604
In addition, I have done a full uninstall, purged the registry and file system of all traces of DVDA 5.2, then re-installed.
I had been using build 124 for about a year with no problems when suddenly last week this problem started. I've even go so far as to use Win7 system restore to take my computer back to a point when the problem was not happening, but nothing fixes it.
I also use Vegas Pro 10e x64. I'm not sure if the DVDA problem started after the upgrade from 10d to 10e.
I am at the end of my rope. I can't do any DVD authoring!
Please don't just have me try things I've already done. Many other people have this Message Missing Error 0X80131604 problem, it is not confined to just DVDA Studio 5.0 (Check the various forums such as Creative Cow).
I suspect that a recent Microsoft Windows Update might be breaking DVDA.

--- first update I posted ----
As I continue to struggle, I followed this Sony KB article to the letter:
https://www.custcenter.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4535
However, it did not fix the problem, and now I have a new error, which happens immediately when I try to use DVDA to create the BD .iso:
Warning: An error occurred while writing a file.
An invalid argument was specified.
<ok>
I'm desperate to get this fixed - I have deadlines and can't get my work done!!! This is a HORRIBLE failure of the software, I'll probably open a paid incident for this IN ADDITION to insisting you follow through on this ticket.

----- 2nd update I posted -----
Hi;
I have Symantec Ghost Solution Suite (Enterprise version), and I use it regularly to make complete disk images of my C: Win7 drive. As a sanity check, I used an image that I had created on July 11, 2011 to clone a new disk, and then I made it bootable. (I have one of those external SASA bays so it is easy to swap SATA drives in and out).
When booted to the clone, DVDA 5.2 works perfectly, I just tested by burning a saved .dar BD project. This proves we have a 100% software problem and that there is nothing wrong with the hardware. Of course, I do not want to have to go back to the July 11 config and loose all the work between then and now, so we still have to fix the DVDA problem.
However, I noticed something that might have bearing on the troubleshooting. Between July 11 and a week ago when the DVDA problems started, I had grown weary of the default path to projects (steve/My Documents/DVD Architect Pro 5.2 Projects), and had created quite a few folders under c:\ such as c:\temp-dvd1 , c:\temp-BD1 , etc. This worked OK for until early September. Before I started to experience the Message Missing Error 0X80131604 , I was having very strange problems where I would prepare or prepare/burn a BD project, and part way through DVDA would tell me it "could not write a file - a file with that name already exists". I made sure that I was picking unique names that had never existed on the system, but that did not make any difference. In an effort to fix the problem, I tried deleting, re-installing, and following the various KB articles. It was only after those attempts that the Message Missing Error 0X80131604 started. Could it be that DVDA is confused about paths? I have already tried holding ctrl-shift while launching to reset everything to defaults.
In between the last time DVDA worked and the time the problems started, I had installed several other programs, all of which I have uninstalled as I work on the problem:
The Nessus network scanner (Nessus-4.4.1-amd64.msi) , The Retina Community Network Scanner from eeye.com (RetinaCommunity_EN.exe), the Latest Cam Studio (CamStudio_Setup_v2.6b_r294_(build_24Oct2010).exe) , MagniGlass screen magnifier (MagniGlassWorker_setup.zip), the latest YouTube downloader (YouTubeDownloaderSetup33.exe), the latest, an HP USB boot utility (SP27608.exe) Media Player Classic 9MPC-HomeCinema.1.5.2.3456.x64.exe), and the latest Sony PMB (PMB56_Updater1105a.exe). I mention these because some of them might have also installed things such as MS C++ redistributable or various .NET 4.x components. However, the know good configuration from July 11 does include the MD C++ 2010 and some .NET 4.0 stuff.
Hope this helps, I will do everything in my ability to help figure it out so that we can help other Vegas Pro/ DVDA customers. I still suspect a Windows auto-update broke something.
Thanks,
Steve
------ my most recent update .... notice it is not as polite and positve ...
Four days and still no answer? And the auto-response is still the lame " Vegas 10 is so popular we can't keep up with the tickets"? This a week or two before the launch of Vegas 11?!?
Does Sony really give a %^$%$# about its current customers?
COME ON ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!!!
Disgusted,
Steve
