    Re-Installing SteelBeasts, Dongle Info and some Questions.

    If the error message is that the Runtime software is missing, chances are that it is a somewhat incomplete installation. My recommendation is to uninstall all CodeMeter related software through the Add/Remove Programs applet in the System Settings. Then check the C:\Programs folder for left-overs, maybe even scan the Windows registry for CodeMeter related entries. Then try to reinstall the Runtime again. Notice that there's both a 32 and 64 bit version on the CodeMeter downloads page; be sure to pick the right one.

    Try to start SB Pro PE again. If it works now, you can uninstall SB Pro PE 2.328, download and install version 2.640, acquire the license, and everything should be roses again.

    :)

    I'll give that a shot this evening.

    Thanks for the heads up. didn't think about cleaning out the registry and the C drive for leftover stuff after doing an uninstall. Good idea.

    Win7 doesn't recommend using the Programs(x86) install locations anymore. Is there a way to change the install directory for codemeter runtimes? I ask because I normally put new software installs into their own directory just below the root and never in Programs. Don't remember seeing that option when doing the codemeter install.

    Ah my mistake, mis read the post.

    When you installed the CodeMeter software, did you do that "As Administrator" (option when you right click on installer).

    I'm guess this here because the log file mentions you are missing some 64 Bit files and therefore I'm assuming (never a good thing) you are using a flavour of Windows 7?

    Also re 2.640 depending on how urgent it is, you may want to wait a week or two (or three) and get 2.6X (a patched version of 2.640). This would mean a single install instead of installing 2.60 and then the patch.

    I always install as administrator. Right-click and run setup's as admin. Then I'll go in to the .exe's properties after install and usually set them up to run as admin's too.

    I noticed that the Dust file stated it couldn't find a number of files - like the password manager for one and IIRC when doing a fresh install there is something one needs to do with the master password but it's been since 2006 or so since I did a fresh install of SB PRO PE.

    I read a message somewhere that said the 11051 bucket was for 2.4 and higher versions. That's the bucket I've got and the version is the original disk version 2.328. If that is the issue I may just be hosed.

    Thanks for the heads up on the 2.64 coming patch.

    Well if you have the 2.328 license then that is whay you can use.

    To run 2.640 you need to buy the upgrade (which includes a new license).

    Once you pay for and download the license and install it on the USB stick it should work.

    I don't have 2.64 but I do want to get it.

    Trouble is that 2.328 won't run at all and gives the error I noted in my post; something to do with not having some kind of key installed.

    I won't be getting 2.64 until I can get 2.328 to run. At that point I anticipate jumpin' back in with both feet right into the deep end. Very fond memories of SB1 from 2001 thru 2005. Pro PE had issues I couldn't deal with so bailed on it in '09 but it looks like they've been fixed from what I can see.

    I'm really looking forward to getting back in, taking back of scenario design and with my current machine seeing it in all it's glory.

    Attach CM-Dust Results File

    Stopped using SB PRO PE back in 2009...

    Saw some really cool you tube vids of 2.64.

    Installed original 2.328 vs from Disk to my current Win7 PC. Did not update from vs 2.328.

    All seemed well until I tried to load SB PRO PE.... Nothing happened. Traced problem to no license on codemeter. Uninstalled wibu vs 3.21 and updated runtime to 4.4 64 bit. Updated firmware.

    Got the license info back. Says I've got 11051 qty 1. Still no joy though. When loading SB PRO PE I get this message:

    CodeMeter or WIBU-KEY runtime system is not installed.

    What the heck does that mean? And how do I fix it?

    I have attached the CM-Dust Results file which may be of help.

    And when everything is fixed is the $25 upgrade to 2.64 available?

    Long time no see...

    Was watching a youtube video of SB Pro PE and got a hankering to get back in to the game.

    Got Windows 7 with a dual processor CPU. Any problems running vs 2.328 with that setup?

    Thinking about getting the latest 2.5 vs too. Any problems with it on Windows 7?
