Hi,

I just downloaded BIAB and installed it. I opened it at the end of the install and it said there was an update. So I clicked on the download button for the update and the bar got to the end, then the program crashed (froze).
I shut the program down and re-opened, to be greeted with this message:

Cannot create file "C:\Program Files\bb\MaxPluginsToScan64.txt. Access is denied

So, I manually downloaded the update (build 317) and installed. Opened BIAB fine played around with a few things and thought, I'll install all the other stuff now. Installed the HiQ sounds for sforzando. Had a play around with the sounds in sforzando and thought, let's have a see what they sound like in BIAB.

opened BIAB to be greeted with the message:

Cannot create file "C:\Program Files\bb\MaxPluginsToScan64.txt. Access is denied

So it seems that BIAB will boot once, but not a second time...

Not good enough!

How do I fix this.

Toaster, welcome to the program and to the forum!

Right click on the Band-in-a-Box desktop icon.
Select "Properties".
Select the "Compatibility" tab.
Enable "Run the program as an administrator".
Select the "Shortcut" tab
Click the "Advanced" button
Enable "Run as administrator"

These steps give the program permission to read and write data to the hard drive.

Where did you install Band In a Box to? What location?

You should have installed it to the top level of the desired drive, e.g. C:\bb\ (which is the default location)

Try uninstalling and reinstalling to C:\bb

Perhaps review this video first:

Yes, and take Jim's good advice and set to run as Administrator also.

Hi,

From your above path, it looks like you might have installed BIAB to c:\Program Files. Is this correct?

If so, PG Music advise not to install the program into either '\Program Files' or '\Program Files(86)'. Should this be where you have installed BIAB, I'd delete that installation and re-install to just C:\bb

Also, after the installation, set BIAB to "Run as administrator" mode as Jim outlines. PG Music also recommend this.

Regards,
Noel

Good catch, Noel.

I'll be pretty surprised if reinstalling to C:\BB doesn't fix it right away. Installing to Program Files causes all kinds of weird issues.

Toaster, if that doesn't fix it, please give our tech support line a call, I'm sure we'll figure it out.

Thanks
Kent

Yes, I'm pretty sure reinstalling the the correct location will almost certainly resolve this.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

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.
