so when i install, it goes up to 100% and does its thing. however whenever I try to find the application it just is not on my computer. help?
You can't see it in add remove programs? Or search the start menu?
Are you referring to the thumbnail that is usually placed on your desktop after installing an application?
Go to the Windows search bar on the lower left. Type in Vegas Pro, and you should see it listed.
If you want that thumbnail on the desktop, right mouse click on it and Pin To Taskbar, or go to the file location and copy it to your desktop.
