    Hello all at VSL, I have a question before I make a purchase from here. At the moment, VSL Suite is a big part of my working setup and it's great. Although I have a bit of a problem, I'm using Vista x64 and my only other options are Windows 8 (which I don't like very much) as Windows 7 doesn't seem to be an option for me - for many reasons such as my DAW software, the downtime and inconvenience. Anyway I hope somebody can answer my question - I'm looking to purchase the Solo Euphonium instrument for use in a Brass piece I will be working on although I am unsure whether the VSL Instrument player will work as I realise this is not supported by VSL themselves. I always considered Windows 7 to be Vista Take 2 anyway. Would I be wasting my time and money when buying the above product? It's not so much the sample content that is the problem it's whether the Vienna Player Host will work under Vista x64. Thanks in advance, Aaron

  • I guess the answer is no then....

  • You might want to contact VSL's sales staff directly.  Although I have no clue what their response might be, in a user's area archive files are available based on the software one has purchased, particularly if one owns older, no longer current versions.  It might be worth asking if you were to purchase a current version, if VSL would allow you to have access to an older non-current archived version to work with your older o/s. 

    Note however that the older obsolete versions are no longer actively supported.


  • Are you able to say why Windows 7 isn't an option? I would have thought that Windows 8 is more of a Vista 2 than Windows 7. I am running W7 in all three studios without problem, and all VSL software works well, including Vienna Suite.
