Where is my Magic Bullet Looks?

Gary James wrote on 8/30/2013, 5:07 PM

I just downloaded and installed the Magic Bullet Looks Trial version for SVP. After running the install program it created two directories in "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)" and placed the MBL dll in each. But when I run Vegas Pro v11, the MBL plugins don't appear in the list.

Is there something that I should have done and missed?

i had the same problem... turns out, the .dll is a DX plugin, so it need to be registered, and apparently, the installer didn't do it.

just need to open a command prompt, and type:

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Magic Bullet Looks Vegas\LooksDX_x64.dll"

That was the problem. Why the Red Giant installer failed registering the two DLL's is a mystery, but doing it myself worked.

BTW, I have a .REG file called OCXRegister.reg that I've run on my PC to add a Windows Explorer Context menu for Registering and Unregistering COM DLLs & OCX's when you right click on them. Just copy and paste this into a Text File then save it as OCXRegister.reg. Finally double-click on the file and let RegEdit install it on your PC.
