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:
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…
@Yeager yes. NOTHING HAPPENS.
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:

I dont know what this Programs do there:
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.
Of course, the issue is about the installation. It was too early for me when I responded I guess and did not have my coffee (hope that is a valid excuse :-))
So, see if I can be of better help for you.
You say: 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 What do you mean by that? Rack Free and Rack pro should be installed seperately. So you have the free version running?
i was long time not trying this and switch to Cardinal ^^,
it was running, but i thought it brokes as well, when try to upgrade in any ways…
but anyways, will give it some time and will try it later imean pay for it, because the Free Version was running.
Somethings happens…not sure what exactly…maybe its windows update or something.
dont know, if nobody can read something from my informations…iam kinda lost at it
I GOT THE SOLUTION right now !!! 
I found the Solution as i was trying to use PortableApps-Applications and got the same ErrorCode…huh*?
0xc000007b
So i combine this “Code” and “PortableApps” in google that leads me to the Forum. And there was a Guy with IQ 5000.
The Solution is:
I followed the instruction an i can now install Rack 2.2.1. without any issues, warnings or silence-nothing. Windows should tell me that 4 sure that THIS Setting harms the Process. Stupid Windows !!
I did not check out if VCV will run if this Security Option is activated again after the Installation of VCV.

meryy xmas - happy new year nwsm
OMG Pin this! this is the solution that worked for me after trying to get VCV installed for YEARS!
btw, if you turn off ASLR you are turning off a security feature.
As i wrote
VCV should modify the install process in next update, to keep security feature when installing VCV
Another way to put it is:
if you turn off ASLR you are opening a security hole that attackers can drive through.
It’s not like, oh another feature that I “don’t use”
