hello
i have reposted this because i posted in wrong forum.

scenario
open any of the following daws
mixcraft,bandlab,traktion,fl studio

open bb vst within the daw
click select..style,track or file
then i get the ..user account control box asking if program can make changes.. click yes.

stylepicker opens
click style click load song demo
user account box comes up again click ok
the chords of the song demo load but no tracks.
then the user account box comes up again, click ok
then the tracks load in
click generate and the user acount box comes up again..

it seems every action i take in the bb vst i get the user account control box.

all bb programs and vst are set to run as admin.
running 614
factory reset
and everything rebuilt.

is this normal.
thanks

Is bbw4 set to run as admin ?

pipeline

yes all bb exe files set to run as admin and all the bb vst/daw exe set to run as admin.

You can create an elevated shortcut to run bbw4 bypassing the UCA but you will have to run Standalone manually then the shortcut and in the Preferences set it Keep BBW Open, this should keep bbw4.exe always open when using the vst plugin hopefully.
Drag bbw4 into UCA Pass it will create a shortcut on the Desktop that you run after starting the Standalone and before using the vst Plugin.

It you create a windows installer for bbw4.exe it should bypass UCA
when bbw4 is started https://www.softpedia.com/get/Authoring-tools/Setup-creators/Inno-Setup.shtml

See if any of those work.

pipeline thanks for your input..

so in a nutshell..........
its normal for the user account control panel to appear for every action i use in the bb vst.
if this is the case ill put up with it rather than do all that nerdy computer stuff,even though you have gave a very detailed description of what to do... my intelligence just about lets me click buttons haha.

once again thanks for your valuable time and input.

PG should come up with a way so you don't get the UCA nag, you can turn UCA off but that's up to you.

Also, no it is not normal it does not do that on my system in any of three DAWs reaper, studio one, and Cakewalk

HI

You need to set your UAC windows account user control as in these pics
from the Windows control panel

mike ,thanks for your time.

my settings are set the same as your image.

rob ,thanks for your time.

looks like the long winded support option then hah.

In User Accounts is your account set as an Administrator or Standard User ?

i think its administrator, since seeing the forums in pg music and seeing the question "are you running as admin" so many times i run anything and everything possible as admin.

pipeline thanks for input.

i did all that stuff and got to the point of "test" bb opened without the user account panel showing but i got the message about "MaxPluginsToScan" and then the exception error thing. ive had a problem with this before so i just cancelled out of the set up.
ive contacted pg support now so ill see if they can advise me.
once again thanks for your time.

an update is that fl studio works ok and i dont get the user account thing everytime.

bandlabs gone to pot so i dont bother with that but the 2 programs i like to use
mixcraft and traktion still have the problem.

bbw4.exe runs silently in the background so you won't see it, it needs the plugin running to talk to it. It is the plugin that starts bbw4.exe.

thanks again pipeline
