Windows10 LTSC, and i ran the installer from the USB drive, as this USB drive with the whole biab caboose, still version 2023, it's meant for use on a laptop occasionally. Installing went OK but it wont run. USB drive is from PG, has a fast 7200 rpm 750GB 2.5 seagate drive IMO on board. I have Bitdefender, and TinyWall (tried latter also in autolearn mode).

I'm personally not at all familiar with LTSC Exactly what program did you try to launch (exact name, file size, location etc)? If you right-clicked and selected 'Run As Administrator', did this make a difference?

A little confused because you were talking about the Install Manager (which is for installing downloads) but you have the BiaB hard drive. What won't run, Band-in-a-Box (C:\bb\bbw64.exe) ? Or ARE you actually talking about the Install Manager (C:\bb\data\InstallManager\Band-in-a-Box Install Manager.exe)? Andrew PG Music Inc.

The solution is to use a normal account. You can return to using the built-in account after running it, if you want. Andrew PG Music Inc.
