Unable to install VCV Rack 2.0.0 on Windows 10

[jacked]

Super excited for vcv rack 2 i picked up the pro version and download it from the website. Tried installing it but nothing happens after the permission access dialogue in windows. Anyone else facing this issue here and found a solution?

[Nik]

Do you mean the grey security popup? If so, use the ‘Run anyway’ option that appears when you take the more info option (I can’t recall exactly what it says).

[jacked]

Nick thank you for replying! I did what i usually do to make the program install by granting permission but nothing happens after that point! vcv|455x342

Tried a few things but still no luck.Neither the free rack or the rack pro 2.0 install on my system! I had vcv 1 running fine!

[Nik]

Hmmm … sorry, not sure of the cause then.

[jacked]

There was another thread that suggested jack be the culprit, but I don’t even have it installed!

[jacked]

its been almost half a month and i havent had any luck from the PRO support to get this running yet! I hope Im not the only one facing this issue! If anyone else is please let me know how you got the installer working on windows 10!

[Squinky]

It works for most people, but there’s plenty it doesn’t work for. I would be super usefully to have some thread or wiki page somewhere with the standard tips on it.

VCV can't load patch

Hey, Since VCV Rack Pro 2.0.2 (2.0.1 worked fine) I get following error when I try to load a patch: [Rack_fhQswJha7Z] Does anyone have an idea how i could solve this problem? Starting it with admin rights doesn’t help. Reinstalling didn’t help either.

Rack 2 Free works but invisible (win 10)

Hi! I removed vcv rack 1 and installed vcv rack 2 free instead, but it doesn’t show up (without errors) and still working.

VCV Rack 2 (free version) fails to start under Windows 7

I just downloaded and installed VCV Rack 2 (the free version), but when I try to start it, I immediately get a pop-up screen with an error message (see below), and the main window never opens. I was running v1.1.16 on the same machine and didn’t have this problem, although it was very sluggish at times (due to the age of my hardware and lack of a dedicated graphics board, I think). I uninstalled the previous version, thinking there might be some conflict (even though I read that they can run sid…

Rack 2 Windows 10 not working (Solved)

Hi, I just thought I’d share here what I’ve experienced, maybe it helps someone else get up and going. After installing Rack 2 and starting it, nothing would happen… the process was there but no window. Logs showed that it was hung somewhere loading ASIO drivers. The VST, however did load within Bitwig. I’ve got a focusrite ASIO driver, a Native Instruments ASIO driver for my MK3 and have Jack2 installed. I started Jack up thinking maybe if jack was running, then Rack would be able to load that…

WT VCO user wavetables

Hello, after loading a wavetable file everything works, but saving it as preset and trying to re-call results in empty waveform on the display. Where should be the default location for user wavetable files? Your input is much appreciated

[user882]

Im facing the same issue … Rack2pro is installed but can’t run even in in standalone mode .rack 1.1.6 runs fine…i tried many things that the forum proposed but still no luck on windows 10… from the log file something has to do with the wasapi drivers i think ill post the log file later on so maybe u can help.

rename user folder , delete asio4all, disable multiple devices still stops there…any thoughts?

[nikolar91]

I have the same issue but with free version. I uninstalled the old VCV version and installed VCV2, I gave it permissions and nothing is happening after I double click the icon to start the program.

[user882]

its strange…on another win 10 machine run ok with the first install so i think something has to do with the configuration of the pc… i thought might be the asio soundcard so i deleted the drivers but still no lack…

[bp.dtmr (Ron_H)]

It’s ONE DRIVE that’s likely causing issues. All the files must be stored locally on the PC

[user882]

Yes i put the user folder outside one drive and also disabled unnecessary audio devices in windows settings…i managed to run vcv vst in ableton.in standalone i get bsod , im sure this has to do with my asio soundcard drivers…

[ahmedrapira]

my problem is still not solved (i tried also 2.0.4 version). I recorded a video:

- YouTube

[Jens.Peter.Nielsen]

send it to VCV - Support

[ahmedrapira]

Done! I will wait for an answer

[PaulPiko]

Checking others things, some from your other thread, but not shown in the video: Did you check for a Rack2 user folder (with Documents) and delete it before re-installing? Did you try pressing Win-D a few times while Rack was running to see if it reset the window position? Did you check the setting.json (without Rack running), and manually change the windowPos values to something like 200.0,200.0 ? Did the log.txt within the Rack user folder give any clues?

[ahmedrapira]

I removed all VCVrack versions from my computer with C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Rack folder and reinstalled vcvrack2 free (2.0.4) and got the same result. I didn’t see any settings.json file. But log file log.txt from the C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Rack2 folder (which looks the same as in my thread) contained this line:

[0.002 info src/settings.cpp:455 load] Loading settings C:/Users/xxx/Documents/Rack2/settings.json

I tried to create this file, but it didn’t help:

  "token": "xxx",
  "windowSize": [
    0.0,
    0.0
  ],
  "windowPos": [

  ]
}

Win + D also doesn’t work for me ( and log.txt is clear

Strange situations always happen to me)

When I run vcvrack I see spinner that indicates that something is loading (about 3-5 seconds). I think the problem is in the display of the program

[PaulPiko]

@ahmedrapira

which looks the same as in my thread

I don’t see a full log.txt in that thread, only a partial one, so I can’t suggest anything else from that. Does your system meet the minimum requirements for Rack, listed on the web site? In particular for graphics?

[ahmedrapira]

System requirements is OK for me. The problem was in JackRouter ASIO! ) The problem was solved when I deleted record from the Windows registry! See details in thread please if interested, thanks!)
