Does anyone know why a 64-bit version of Wavelab 8 wouldn’t launch on a 64-bit version of Windows 10?
I recently upgraded my machine, moved over the dongle and tried installing Wavelab 8 on the machine. While I can install both the 32 and 64 bit versions, only the 32 bit version will launch. The 64 bit version does nothing.
I have Cubase Elements 8, 64 bit, on the same machine and that works splendidly, and I had no problems with Wavelab 8 on Windows 7. Seems odd that on a 64 bit windows machine, Cubase 64 works, but not Wavelab in 64 bits.
Also, I tried to do a search for this info, but returned zero hits as apparently 64 bit is a really common search.
Well, ofcourse it -should- work, and does for many others. So you say the 64 bit version ‘does nothing’. What happens when you try launching, and how do you launch it?
Thanks, Arjan. I installed it by the installer wizard, which leaves an icon on the desktop. I double click it and… nothing. If I double click the 32bit version of Wavelab, it launches with the splash screen, etc., as does the 64bit version of Cubase.
You could try going to Program Files > Steinberg > Wavelab 8 and double clicking the Wavelab .exe in the program folder. It could be a bad desktop shortcut.
If that doesn’t work, you could try resetting the preferences.
