try installer from some previous version.

/c

Seems I have deleted older versions, and none are available for download. Is there a way I can get a copy of the software without using the installer?

Tom

Christian,

Thanks. I downloaded it, and had the same result, instant crash....

Tom

You certainly know more about this than I, Tom, but have you repaired permissions? I get crashes when i don't do this.

Best of luck,

Alex.

Oh yes, repaired, restarted, rescanned in the License Center, you name it. This is really a bad problem. Again I wonder if I can get the software itself and install it without using the installer....?

from crash log:
< image not found /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/WebKit >

a dylib item is not found. there is apparently a file missing or corrupt.

try a system update.

Thanks

I reinstalled System 10.4.6

I clicked the installer. It crashed again. Here is the report again:

Is there any other way of obtaining this software update?

Tom

Tom,
Are you using the Mac OS X Combo update or just the 10.4.6 update? Most people have better luck with the Combo update.

Do you have the latest security updates as well?

I have tried both versions (Software Update and Combo Installer). Nothing needs updating at this point and I am baffled. I really want to get up and running to use Nuendo and can't unless I have the VST version of VI.

Tom

Dietz, I can't read your native language...[;)]

Tom

hehe .. das scheint im falschen forum gelandet zu sein - ja, die 1.06 kann VST

you will find a version history here soon or in the ViennaInstruments information thread - IIRC VST on MAC was introduced with 1.05, not 100% sure though ...
christian

GOT IT!

I had installed the 10.4.6 update again and it didn't help. This time I downloaded the COMBO update as suggested, installed it, and I AM UP AND RUNNING. Hurrah!

Thanks so much for continuing to make suggestions on how to solve this. I suppose a file had gotten corrupted someway....

Tom

thanks for letting us know. your finding and jbm's hint is very interesting to hear, especially because such OS-updates are automated procedures and i assumed some kind of validation for installed files would be included.
at least the system reported the correct source of the problem, even if one could not interpret the message literally - so we might become more suspicious next time
christian

Congrats on your hard-earned and long-awaited success, Tom!

Yeah just in time too...I ordered Nuendo today and it arrives tomorrow. A weekend of manual reading lies ahead! I'll give a heads up on how it all goes with VI....

Thanks
Tom

Nuendo!!

Now, I'm jealous!! [[;)]]

You'l have to keep us posted on this major transition and how it's working for you.

Well I will. I've run the gamut.

I used Pro Tools for years, but couldn't afford to go with HD. I sold my Mix system, got LE. Did alright with it on the Mac and using VSL on a PC, but the track and other limitations were too great.

So I sold it, got an RME Fireface and have used Logic for about 3 months. It's been fairly stable, but though I like some things in it, I would PAY to get out of it's erector set approach to recording and mixing. And the automation and the look and feel leave a lot to be desired.

Performer wasn't a great option for me as I had used it for years before it became "Digital" and now it just seems like a program that piled a lot of stuff on top of a lot of really, really old stuff. I know it's a fine program but there are just a million hard to read tiny mini menus and a thousand windows. Anyway, not for me though it has some great points.

So that left me with one last thing to try! I was amazed after doing a lot of investigating how many good things people had to say about Nuendo. I mean I just didn't find ANY bad reports on it, from Mac or PC users. Nothing but praise all around. So, with trepidation and a hard kick to the savings account, I took the plunge.

I will definitely let you guys know how I do as I will have to get it up and running really quickly.

Tom

While Nuendo is pretty close being the perfect audio workstation, there are still questions you will run into when you make your first steps. Make sure to visit forum.nuendo.com - a nice and vivid place to discuss these issues, and lots of useful first-hand information.

All the best,
