Vegas Pro 15 won't load after installing Sound Forge Audio Studio 12

Vegas Pro 15 (Build 361) was working fine until I installed Sound Forge Audio Studio 12 and Magix Audio Cleaning Lab and Music Maker. Now it will not load. It will show the start up window with the Build 361 version on it for a couple of seconds then the window will disappear and the program will not load. I tried restarting my computer and that did not work. What is going on?!

That's a first for me, and I've been here 16 years.

A simple reinstall is cheap medicine, and cures a lot of hiccups.

A first for me too and I've been using Vegas since version 2. I tried the simple reinstall and it didn't work. To get Vegas 15 to finally launch I had to uninstall Sound Forge Studio 12 and all the add ons and plugins that came with it. What a waste of a Saturday. You would think Sound Forge Audio Studio 12 and Vegas 15 would be compatible. I never had this incompatibility issue with pre-Magix Vegas Pro and Sound Forge or Audio Studio and I'm beyond disappointed.

@geo I’m starting to recognise Installer issues. In a recent post I wrote that I was getting Feature-Loss and only when I had done a regressive BUILD installations procedure was I able to finally get Vegas Pro Build 361 installed with its features in place.

Perhaps SF Audio Studio installed a VST plug-in that didn't sit well with Vegas? I haven't gone through this myself, but usual procedure is to move everything out of the VST folders, then move plug-ins back in small groups until you find the culprit. Could you tell what Vegas was doing in the spash screen window when the problem happened?

@Tim L Yes! Good points.

I tried usual procedure of deleting VST folders. Didn't work. Vegas 15 still failed to launch. I had to finally delete SF Audio Studio 12 and all plug-ins completely and then reinstall Vegas 15 in order to get it to launch and open.

It does sound like a bug report to me, and I think shared plugins are a good place to look.
