@Maaaars Yes, where did you download your trial version from?

While there's no way you got that VP 15 trial from Magix. If you have the same issue with 19 here's a source for C+++ runtimes. While you're at it download multiple .net frameworks too.

Big apologies everyone, I posted some of the wrong screenshots. I accidentally showed you the screenshot of when I tried downloading Vegas Pro 15 from some other website, just to test if an older version worked. I can assure you that the same exact error is occurring for Vegas Pro 19 when downloaded from Sony's official website:

RogerS, I have used that net installer you linked as the exact source I used for c++ runtimes before, which unfortunately didn't work (I tried multiple times). However, regarding downloading multiple .net frameworks, I have never heard of that, could you please elaborate? Again, sorry for the hassle and confusion I have caused everyone.

I can assure you that the same exact error is occurring for Vegas Pro 19 when downloaded from Sony's official website:

And, I think that we see the problem.

@Maaaars

What does Sony have to do with this?

... error is occurring for Vegas Pro 19 when downloaded from Sony's official website:

Again, have you downloaded Vegas Pro 19 from Vegas Pro 19's website as given earlier? If you are downloading from a website purporting to have Sony Vegas Pro 19, then that is almost certainly a scam or pirate website. Sony has had nothing to do with Vegas Pro for the last 6 years or so since they sold Vegas Pro to MAGIX - https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/sony-vegas-vs-vegas--119881/ . Sony's official website will simply not have Vegas Pro 19 available for download.

Are you on Windows 10?

Let me see if I can find a link for .net. Try NET Framework 4.8 and 6 and potentially even both x64 and 32-bit varieties.

You might also need to install the deep learning modules 19.1.0.0. link

@RogerS What more must a user do before you understand that he's trying to install a pirated version of Vegaspro and therefore he's not welcome here?

I don't get why someone would pirate a trial as it's free.

If a mod decides this user is violating forum rules he can be dealt with.

I don't get why someone would pirate a trial as it's free.

Do you really believe that he is trying to install a trial?

Hey guys I think we need to back off a little here. There's enough conflict in the world without us adding to it.

1. In civilised countries a person is innocent until they are proven guilty
2. Many video makers out there in the world, who don't regularly frequent the Vegas forums, still look on Vegas as "Sony Vegas"
3. Our poster has Build 458 which is the most recent which was released only a few months ago.

Yes, I believe (until it's proved otherwise) that he is trying to install a trial of Vegas Pro 19.

I'm not adding conflicts to this world, but I am immensely annoyed when it's that obvious that a first time poster is trying to get help here with a pirated version for Vpro and that forummembers help without being critical. To me this is indirect support to the illegal use of Vegaspro.

• First showing screenshot of VP15 (also trial?, were can you download a trial or a full version of VP15?)

I accidentally showed you the screenshot of when I tried downloading Vegas Pro 15 from some other website, just to test if an older version worked. I can assure you that the same exact error is occurring for Vegas Pro 19 when downloaded from Sony's official website:

• He has been directed by a critical forum member to the official Vegas download site for a trial, before. Still talking about Sony Vegas!

1. We're here not at court, it's not about proven guilty or not guilty. It's about decency.
2. Show me a sincere starting video maker who knows Sony Vegas but doesn't know Magix Vegas.
3. Pirated versions are just released a few days after release of official versions.

Wow this post is popular. Regarding the Vegas pro 15 install I was recommended by a friend to see if it would work, a troubleshooting strategy persay. So yes you guys caught me, I do believe it is a cracked version that I was not previously aware about. But if we IGNORE that screenshot and realize someone made a mistake I'm hoping I can get this problem fixed. I dont know how many times I can stress that I downloaded the trial version FROM THE LEGITIMATE SITE. @john-brown regarding you question on "what does sony have to do with this?" Well I originally thought that these forums were a place to help and guide people through Vegas Pro and perhaps even the installation. My apologies if I posted my question in the wrong section or something. @RogerS yes I do have windows 10 (PC specs: r5 3600, gtx 1050 ti, 16 gb ram) and I'm going to try your fix later today :). Again apologies if this is the wrong forum to ask anything but I do appreciate all the help I can get as I've been trying to solve this problem for the past week. @3POINT sorry if I upset you in any way, that is not my intention and I am trying to download the legitimate trial version of Vegas 19 Pro. Thank you everyone for the assistance.

@ Maaaars When you experience the same installing issues with the legitimate trial version of VP19, of course than you are more than welcome here.

@3POINT thank you for understanding

The error message says it couldn't create a directory. Sounds like a permissions issue to me. I'd right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator".
