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…
my problem is still not solved (i tried also 2.0.4 version). I recorded a video:
Done! I will wait for an answer
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?
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:

0.0

"cableColors": [

]
}
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
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?
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!)

Its been almost a month. Still no luck getting VCV to INSTALL on my Windows 10 machine.
Even with the new 2.0.4 installer I get the same result!
Anyone else still facing what I’m facing?
I know its a tough time to expect support on this from them and I’ve raised a support ticket on this and even with the pro support im still here typing this.
Try this:
- Go into settings, find UAC (User Access Control) and temporarily set it to the lowest/most permissive level.
- Download/locate the Rack installer .exe file.
- Right-click the .exe installer file and select “Run as administrator”.
Does that improve things? Also, remove any 3rd party anti-virus programs you have, and just rely in the inbuilt Windows Defender. These things cause so much trouble and are pure trash.

I’ve had about 4 windows systems I’ve built and maintained through my time and did the basics like you mentioned on first attempt on facing this issue.
I’ve even been in touch with the PRO support tram that you get with the paid version and their suggestions are as basic as yours and still have left me hanging.
I’m posting here to see if anyone else has had this issue and managed to fix it or have they just given up and asked for a refund.
Nothing has worked for me. Not even on the rack 2 free installer.
I had the versions before 2 working just fine on this machine.
I haven’t had any installation issues on multiple Windows machines.
Which anti-virus are you running? What are the security settings of your user account, do you have all administrator privileges?
I see you said that nothing happens after you answer the security prompt. At that time, is the installer running but not visible, or has it terminated? You should be able to check that with the details section of Task manager, or sysinternals’ Process monitor. The Windows event log should also have related diagnostic messages if it is having problems running the installation.
Are all the latest Windows updates applied? The latest NET and VC++ runtime?
And this is not a solution, but there is a ZIP version of Rack 2 Free that lets you manually install Rack. The latest is 2.0.3. The standalone Rack Free is functionally almost identical to standalone Rack Pro. The Rack VST isn’t in the free version, of course.
So you get this :
Press “YES” and nothing happens ?
I get those popups in the lower right - where other notifications are, “defender blocked vcv2.exe”. So I click on the notification and eventually get the a UI that’s lets me exclude vcv from controlled folder access. Don’t know if that’s what this issue is…
same here
btw the other Thread has this issue also
Hey,i got it running via the ZIP for a short time… but later VCV opens a invisible window then, so it ist not a solution for me,
i have the same install issues…in Win 10 Pro
@Yeager same here with 2.1.2 i log the process via procmon (win sysinternals)#
→ i can explain how to to it.<-
This is what it captured if anyone will digg deeper in this rare issue:

- audio plugin expanse (wtf???) → Has to do with Csound Environment but why for this Process?
- audio plugin imaginando VS (wtf???)
it make no sense to me…but it is possible that are
Where is VCV installed? In what folder? It looks like you have it on the desktop? It is common to have it in the program files folder. Have you also installed all the dll’s also on the desktop?
Maybe first try a normal install and see if you can get it running. Than move ot to the desktop if that is what you really want (Iwould create a shortcut but that is just me)
its not installed. (Thats the Thread about)
The Installer RackPro-2.1.2-win.exe is normally in my Download Folder (not on C:) The Installer is now waiting on my Desktop (until the install process will ever happen.) and i try starting the Installer from both Paths…
its not common to have the installer in the program files folder…maybe u mean it should install there…thats true then.
i have actually Rack Free 2.0.2 ZIP -unpacked on Desktop- also to try if this is working and it does work…but i can not update via the Rack Pro Standalone GUI
i try all kinds of installing. if u read above (Unable to install VCV Rack 2.0.0 on Windows 10 - #24 by PaulPiko) you know exactly what happens before…and waht always happens if i/we double click the installer.
