Exeption EFCreateError in module RealBand.exe at 000C1F76. Cannot create file D:\Music\2020\Data\BootupLog.txt. The specified path could not be found.
All previous versions have worked fine, but now (2021) clicking on the seq file will bring up that error message. And windows 10 doesn't give you the option to search for a program to open. For some reason, BB opens the file in 32 bits. If I open first BB and RB, then is no problem. jeahje
Firstly, Welcome to the forums. Presumably you have just installed a new version (2021) of BiaB and RealBand. Did you install in the recommended default locations x:\bb\ and x:\RealBand\ ?
BIAB & RB2024 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones
Are you using the application called RealBand64 or RealBand? The RealBand 2021 version is called RealBand64 and is 64 bit only. The one that is called just RealBand is the 2020 version, or earlier, and is 32 bit only.
It sounds like you are trying to double-click on a .SEQ file and have it open in RealBand 2021.
Right-click on a .SEQ file, and in the Properties dialog beside 'Opens With', click the [Change] button. Then, More apps --> choose another app, and browse for the file RealBand64.exe in your RealBand folder. Perhaps it was trying to run RealBand from an incomplete/older folder.
yes, I think too, that its try to open old (2020) version, but what to do? If I try to douple click there is Realband (32?), but I can't change it. Is it windows 10 problem. previous versions work well, so i wonder, i have tried to reinstall many times. I even removed Realband (32 bit), but it had to be moved back. I don’t understand what miracle I could do. I will be really grateful if I get advice!
yes I try to use RB64, when I try to open the SEQ file, it apparently tries to open the old 32 version, but I have no way to change it. if you double-click SEQ, then only Realband (32) and Search Microsoft. I can't select RB64 not found in windows 10 settings apps (BB found)
"Right-click on a .SEQ file, and in the Properties dialog beside 'Opens With', click the [Change] button. Then, More apps --> choose another app, and browse for the file RealBand64.exe in your RealBand folder."
I installed the 2020 version and it worked just fine, but when i reinstalled realband86, again it doesn't work. links to error messages that show that windows 10 does not allow you to search for realband64.exe.
Are you sure it's Realband86.exe? That's an unusual name. I would have thought that it's more likely to be Realband.exe (as you mention) and Realband64.exe.
of course Realband64.exe Yes I can open both, but if I try to open SEQ file, it will not open. If I open first Realband and then seq file there is no problem. Before Realband64.exe (2021) no problem. Maybe I must wait 2022, if then everything's gonna be okay...
I installed the 2020 version and it worked just fine, but when i reinstalled realband86, again it doesn't work. links to error messages that show that windows 10 does not allow you to search for realband64.exe.
Basically, try clicking in the empty space immediately below where it says Loop For An App In The Microsoft Store - that should give you the ability to find another app.

THANK YOU! nor would I have guessed in any way to take advantage of those empty spaces. From there, I finally got Realband64.exe exchanged. I have to say you are a pretty skilled Windows connoisseur. It’s really great to have experts here in the forum! greetings from Finland! I had already lost hope ...

You're very welcome jeahje, glad to help! That one would've stumped me for sure, thankfully a little Googling about "Look for more apps" brought up that forum I linked.

Simon, your screen shots were very effective. How did you acquire screen shots for both the pop up window with the blank error and the pop up window with the correct message?

I can't speak for Simon but I use print screen, then I paste that print screen into paint or one of my photograph programs.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

To be honest, I got a screenshot of the window with the correct message, loaded it into Paint, and deleted that area...

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
