Vegas 8 and 64 bit Windows
Several people have asked about 64 bit installation so I’m posting my experience. Several months ago Vegas 7 ran fine on Windows 64 but after Vista, Windows would not install the programs Vegas relquired.
I recently tried to install V8 on Windos XP Pro 64 bit that was fully updated and it would NOT install. The progams Vegas requires prior to installation do not install in 64 bit Windows. When I had called Sony about this matter with V7 earlier, they replied, “We do not support that version of Windows,” so I didn’t call again.
If anyone knows a way, I’d like to hear it. I’ve got 4 gb of ram and a lot is unused.

I’ve had people tell me 8 Pro runs great on Vista 64. Upgrade to Vista 64.

Thanks, but I haven’t talked to any of those people and until I can I think I’ll go in another direction. I’m working on one big project and it is almost finished. I can’t do any experimenting now.

FWIW, I installed vista business 64 last night on a new laptop – smoothest windows install I’ve ever done. quite surprised. And faster install than xp pro, despite larger size.
then added network cable – got immediate web access. very pleasant.have V8 trial version running smoothly. no hiccups so far.

We run Vegas 7.0 (&8) on XPx64. To get it running on 64bitOS we had to pull 2GB of RAM out – originally it had 4GB RAM. We were told to do this by BMD as we use a decklink card with it, and there was some sort of hardware conflict of the DL card with the RAM address (I think).

You can solve the installation problem by installing microsoft net framework 3 64bit manually before installation
