Like I said; it does exist in Realband\data I was surprised to find it didn't exist in \bb\ .. but you seem to confirm this is normal, other than mine is crashing I also have lots of copies in the RB backup folders

RealBand\Data\bbw2.exe is just bb\bbw.exe but runs in the background to generate tracks for RB, so it can run independent of having BB. It is working here, you can try it with the UCA off or by right clicking bbw2.exe Properties > Compatibility > Run As Administrator see if that helps, but yes it needs fixing if you have that problem now.
Pipeline; I've ran RB as admin for years, hasn't changed. I tried that, re-install, I guess next would be to load one of the dozens of backups (probably hundreds if I searched the system) in the RBBackups folder(s) .. and find another that works.
Or wait.

The old waiting game, eh?

I tried setting the Properties for the BBW2 file in Realband\data to 'Run as Adminstrator' .. no luck Trying to launch BBW2 beforehand generated the same error here. Didn't seem to matter if I launched it before or after launching RB.
One of the few times I am hitting my frustration point; usually I can battle my way through this stuff.

It has always been worth it, but not possible given my current availability, unfortunately. I keep missing the window by 1/2 hour or more. Live Chat has also showed no current option available when I tried that (except leave message, we'll get back to you).
I have no problem letting PGMusic remote in, lead me verbally, chat or whatever, but my timing just hasn't worked recently. My fault
I've been busy with other things and was really wondering if I am unique with this problem (apparently so). It probably isn't urgent since it is a unique issue, but like I mentioned, I can usually solve these issues and am stymied this time. At least so far. <grin>

There has been more significant progress over the last day on this. I may be a unique problem, but PGMusic support has been hard at work helping solve this. As usual
Thanks

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
