159. How do I install the VSC-DXi on Windows Vista or 7?

Symptoms: When you try to install the VSC-DXi, you might get an error message similar to: "String NOSUPPORT_OS was not found in string table"

The VSC-DXi runs on all operating systems, except for 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Vista, and 7. The only other time you might have trouble installing the VSC-DXi is if you are trying to install by using a separate VSC-DXi setup file you downloaded or found on an older CD.

The VSC-DXi was included with Band-in-a-Box® versions 2004-2011. If you have version 2007-2011, it should be automatically installed with Band-in-a-Box®. You should not have to do anything special, aside from making sure you have the VSC-DXi selected in the list of components to install. If you already have Band-in-a-Box® installed, you can choose to install ONLY the VSC-DXi (pictured here).

If you already have Band-in-a-Box® installed, an alternative way to install the VSC is by using the setup files in the ...\bb\vsc\VSC_Installs folder.

You CAN still use the separate VSC-DXi installer if you want, you will just need to do the following beforehand:

  1. Locate the VSC-DXi Setup .exe file.
  2. Right-click on it and select Properties.
  3. Click the compatibility tab.
  4. Check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for" box, and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)".
  5. Press Apply, and you can now install the VSC-DXi.
