Any idea how to fix this Exception Error? 2022 worked OK but now for 2023 it says I can continue working but may not (?) save it. See screenshot attached I tried sending the error report to PG but I can't get the click tab that sends it to latch. Bests Ian

Mine's a total crash and have to use Task Manager to close it down. I've sent the details to Support. It has to be some weird anomaly as RB works fine in my Win10. Its the Win7 drive DL that isn't working. Bests Ian

Hi Andrew Note - I sent the info off crash log (?) to Tech Support. Basically I start up RB2023 Build 2 (current) via desktop icon as usual. I get the No-No message come up and nothing works. It won't let me close it down - I have to use Task Manager. Hope that helps. Bests Ian

The file extensions are just hidden on your system. With RealBand closed, try deleting BootupLog, and see what happens. If it is deleted successfully, run RealBand again and see if the same error happens.
Seems odd the originally posted error shows the error in C:Realband\ instead of C:\Realband_X64\ folder (for both where the error occurred and the application that caused the error)
Just noticing .. Are you sure you are launching the new RB? The error (to me) implies you are actually launching an older version
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!
This gets curiouser and curiouser.. Andrew - i deleted that bootlog file and RB then fires up. However, an SGU opened thus pays zero attention to any of the F5 commands within it. If I then shut down the PC and restart it, the boot up problem returns - and round and round we go.
Strange thing - I think Rharv may be on to something - the opening Splash screen says 2023 build 2 and so does the 'about' menu. BUT if I look at Activated Tickets it only shows up to 2020. Nothing for 2021, 2022 or this new update. So, could RB actually be trying to work as 2020 not 2023?
No idea why that should be.
What would be the best and safest way of reinstalling RB completely afresh without disturhing a working fine BB2023? Bests Ian

Yes, that would be strange.
Do you have a Realband_X64 folder on that C: drive? It could be an errant error message I suppose, but exception errors are usually pretty accurate about what happened and in which application.

RealBand 2020 and earlier used a separate activation from Band-in-a-Box so there is nothing abnormal about that. To reinstall you could delete the RealBand folder, then run the Band-in-a-Box and RealBand installer, and uncheck all components except RealBand.

Would he need to delete (or rename) the Realband folder and the Realband_X64 folder as well?

Resolved after advice from Tech Support (thanks Chantelle/Jerry) to delete the RealBand folder entirely and reinstall that folder only. It worked. No crash. Many thanks Ian
