Found the "display log" function:

Error #-7, Invalid trackNumber or RealTracks Soloist Number in line #21 is the first error I see.
You will also see I tried to load a style that did not exist (not sure how that could be, but not my concern at the moment).
Loaded a different style and continued...

That MIGHT be a separate problem. So you are running RealBand 2023 to check if it works... and you are getting this error with the song you loaded in. Need to be careful here:

* Verify that the RealBand 2023 program is pointing to a Band-in-a-Box 2023 folder. Double-check the folder paths (Prefs button | Paths for BB and RealTracks), and then go into those folder paths in Explorer, right-click | Properties on the .exe and look at the version details.
* The log shows that it is build 1 of 2023, that needs to be updated before running your test.
* There is a SECOND log file that should have more information. You will find it in the bb folder path, in Data\Logs (bbw2_64_flashmessage_log.txt). This SHOULD show you all those messages that went by really quickly.
* Please send us the song file that triggers this error, and we can see if we can duplicate. Send it attn Andrew and refer to this forum thread.

Back to the original problem of loading 2024, that second log file I mentioned above would be useful here as well... Find it in the 2024 bb folder in Data\Logs



It might have been a mistake to include the 2023 errors in this thread.
I was using it just as a test.
We should probably focus on just the 2024 version - because so far, I can't use it for anything.


Some new info....

I created a new song in RealBand (instead of loading the SGU I had been trying)
The new song sort of worked, but errors flashed
I will send you the Log file.
It says that it can't find a RealDrums folder - but it loaded the RealDrum from the style I selected. And, yes, I set it to the right place. BIAB can find them...and RealBand seems to find them in spite of itself.

I'll also send you the problem SGU. It runs fine in BIAB.
