Hi, I have just installed Movie Studio 16.0 Platinum but when I start the program I get an error message:

Magic Bullet QuickLooks did not initialize successfully - please re-install the software to correct the problem.

There were no errors during the install. I am running W10 64bit

Any suggestions will be gratefully received. Thanks.

Did you try reinstalling Magic Bullet Quick Looks? My MBQL originally came with MS12 and appeared without problem in VMS16Plat when I installed VMS16.

The install bundles that downloaded after I purchased Movie Studio 16 Platinum were:

Music_Maker_28.0.2.43_INT_191104_11-37_28_0_2_43, NewBlue_Transitions_5_Ultimate_180730_1_0_0_0, Update_Notifier_3.0.0.50_INT_190814_07-59_3_0_0_50, VEGAS_DVD_Architect_7.0.0.100_Trial_7_0_0_100 and VEGAS_Movie_Studio_16.0.0.175_Platinum_INT_16_0_0_175

So I wouldn't even know which bundle contained it. I think I might have to bite the "bullet" (sorry) and remove everything and reinstall again. It's just that I can;t see much point in doing this. My hope is/was it's a known issue.

Thanks for responding - I appreciate your time. :o)

MBQL aren't part of any of them. You must have already had it installed. Probably from MS12?

Ah! Eric, you are absolutely correct - I have upgraded straight from MS12 to 16. I reinstalled MBQL from the MS12 bundle and the error has gone away. Thank you very much for your help.
