Where is my Vegas Pro 22 located

peter-ilyk wrote on 9/18/2024, 8:31 AM

I just upgraded from Vegas Pro 19 to Vegas Pro 22. The download all seemed to work as did the installation. I have the exe file in my downloads folder and when I click on Apps and Features on my computer Vegas Pro 22 appears as one of my programs. The only problem is that I can't find the program anywhere? Normally when I install a program (as with Vegas Pro 19) an icon appears on my desktop allowing me to open the program. There is no such icon for Vegas Pro 22 and I can't seem to find the program anywhere in order to open it. Where would the program be, given that my apps and features indicates that the program is one of my apps? Not sure what has happened.
I am using Windows 10 and have never had a problem using Vegas Pro 19.

If you didn't change the installation path, it should be in: C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 22.0\vegas220.exe
In recent releases, a desktop shortcut need to be enabled manually during installation. Now, you can create a shortcut to vegas220.exe and send it to your desktop.

Using VEGAS Pro 22 build 248 & VEGAS Pro 21 build 208.

@peter-ilyk
You have to enable that desktop shortcut the next way

If you forget to hunt down the buried checkbox that the Vegas installer hides away, here's an easy fix...

Copy the vp19 shortcut on your desktop, then pull up Properties of the copy and edit it till it looks like the one on the right by changing the 2 instances of 19 to 22. Then rename the edited shortcut to Vegas 22.

I just right-click and drag the VEGAS exe file from the 22 install folder to the desktop and choose "Create Shortcut". Then on each subsequent updated to 22, the icon remains and still works (and doesn't move).

Thanks to everyone for their help. With your help I have found the program and created a short cut on my desk top. All good now. Seems to work fine.
