I recently upgraded to Vegas Movie Studio 8.0c build 142. I built up a new computer with a fresh install of XP Pro SP2 and am having difficulty getting Vegas MS 8 to install and register properly.
I logged into the machine as an administrator (not the "Admin" login but another account with admin privilege) and installed MS 8. It went out and downloaded the Visual C++ 5.0 and .NET framework stuff and subsequently proceeded to install. I started up the app and entered my serial number and other information and it seemed to register fine.
However, when I logged in as a non-admin level user, the splash screen popped up and I immediately got an error box with the following message - "Please run this program from the administrator account so that it can set up your license. Once the license is set up, you can run it from any account."
Even though I had set it up as an administrator, it seemed to think otherwise. So I went back and logged back on to the administrator account and re-registered but it did not seem to help. It will run without error from any admin level account login, but not the non-admin account.
I installed DVD Architect the same way as described above and it has no problems. I can run it from admin and non-admin accounts and no errors.
So I uninstalled Vegas MS, deleted the directories from the hard drive, and cleaned out the registry (deleted all keys with the word "Vegas") to the best of my ability. I re-installed the program - this time from the actual "Administrator" login. I still have the same problem - the same error pops up every time I launch the program.
Has anyone seen this problem before? I searched both the knowledge-base and the forum but have found nothing that helps. There was something about a similar problem with Vista but that had to do with levels of adminstrator. I don't think XP Pro works this way.
Thanks in advance.
