been on the side line for a long time .
all the way back to bb box 10 ,have all the band in a box and was happy when they came out with 2019 and seen the new DAW but then was sad that their was no 32 bit version . then they came out with version 1.9.19.0 in update 611 with a stand alone 32bit exe.
down loaded it and when to use it and it said ,
C:\bbplugin\files\32-bit \band-in-a- box DAW plugin stand alone 32 EXE.is not a valid win 32 appication.
use window xp pro with sp 3 bb 2019 work just fine but not the new DAW
sonar 7 producer edition
cool edit pro 2
ps just an old timer wanting to learn more and do more.

"the plugin was originally designed and tested for Windows 7 and higher, so it may not work on earlier systems."
They are going to have a look at it to see if they can make a version that will work on XP.

"that would be so nice for us oldtimers on XP" lowboy: It would be nice for us new timers running Win 10 with plenty of processing power too... As I look through this plugin forum posts I am seeing that the plugin was/is not ready for primetime in 2019. I am certainly not accustomed to buying software that is still being developed contrary to its advertised capabilities and not tested in all environments it is touted to support. I am very disappointed with this so far.  frown And as a Pro Tools user I am even more annoyed that it seems from perusing these pages that the AAX version is not addressed, not really a priority evidently as it seems to be with VST DAWs.  cry What (management) genius forced release of 2019 with so many serious issues and shortcomings still apparent and marketed it as ready for primetime and working?  sick

I was just told by Mikke in support that it appears you are trying to access the plugin by trying to open it like an application . where I come from if you have a stand alone exe that is a application in itself.I've try to open it as a daw in my sonar 7 no way would it open .I fell that they are leaving us by the way side us old timer running window xp pro with sp3 and like you said window 10
the new DAW is why I upgraded to 2019 bb I'm sorry now that I did ,I've been buying Band in a box all the way back to bbox 10. I would hope they would try
to make it run in xp and win 10 .I hope they fix it .it just make me sad .

Sorry if I'm being contentious but personally I don't think they should spend a second trying to make the plugin (or anything else) work on XP. It is no longer supported and security updates are no longer provided by Microsoft. I sincerely hope none of you are connecting to the internet (or your home network if that in turn is connected to the internet) using these XP machines. No software provider can/should be expected to support out of date software. Please upgrade your machines for your own peace of mind (and mine!).
Thanks,
Paul

I feel ya lowboy the problem is XP has been dead for several year no support and no protection so its hard for developers to support it for software.

I hear you as I am getting close to that exact situation. But one must remember that when you stop upgrading a system one must be very careful on what new software they purchase. I realize that if or when I can not upgrade my old system I must go off-line and not purchase any more software. As already been mentioned that XP is old, actually 4 generations old, and not supported by anyone anymore. Sorry to rain on your parade but that is the cold hard truth.

I do understand lowboy, I really do, but I would hate to see your email, bank account, credit card, etc details stolen. Sadly there are many bad people out there and I fear for people using XP if they connect to the web.

my son got me a new window O.S. I'm sorry I have to say to you that your son gave you a very old Windows O.S. After 7, you had 8, 8.1 (a sort of 9), and now new generations of 10. I think Windows 10 is the best of all, so start thinking about it as from next year nobody will support software for Windows 7. Microsoft made a commitment to provide 10 years of product support for Windows 7 when it was released on October 22, 2009. When this 10-year period ends, Microsoft will discontinue Windows 7 support so that we can focus our investment on supporting newer technologies and great new experiences. The specific end of support day for Windows 7 will be January 14, 2020. After that, technical assistance and automatic updates that help protect your PC will no longer be made available for the product. Microsoft strongly recommends that you move to Windows 10 sometime before January 2020 to avoid a situation where you need service or support that is no longer available.

But in 11 months, you'll be back in the leaky boat when Win7 support ends.

I even have an old Win 95 photo graphic program running on Win 10, as well as MS Office 97. You may lose some old games that took shortcuts that will not work on Win 10, my wife found that out but I did find Win 10 duplicate games for her, but a properly coded program will be available via the compatibility mode. YMMV.
