Hi,
I've just installed 2013 and right at the end of the install I get this message

Unable to execute file;
J:bb\BBHelper\PDF995 Installer\autosetup.exe

CreateProcess failed; code267.
The directory name is invalid

I started BIAB and went to print a lead sheet and pressed the tab Print to PDF, it then told me the driver wasn't installed and would I like to install it now? I pressed Yes and nothing has happened.

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks, Keith

I'm not sure what's wrong here, but try running the installer As Administrator (assuming you are on Vista or later).

Also, you can always download and install the free PDF995 from their website, if all else fails.

Yes, just navigate to J:bb\BBHelper\PDF995 Installer\ folder, and then right click on autosetup.exe and run as administrator. Note that after printer driver installs, it might take a logoff-logon or reboot of Windows for the driver to show up.


Have Fun!

Thanks Peter but I don't have the PDF995 Installer Folder in my J:bb\BBHelper\ folder, perhaps that was something to do with the error message I got at the end of my initial installation.

Not in my BBHelper folder either. I got the same error Keith got about Unable to execute file. I did a re-install...no luck.

I had SampleTank installed before. Yes it works from BIAB. I do want to try out the new Hi-Q sound but did not receive them with my downloads. I have to wait until tomorrow to talk to a Sales rep.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
