Hi,
When I installed Music Maker 2026 Premium a while back, it worked fine. I kept 2025 as well as that is now allowed. It also kept working. A few weeks ago when I started it up, I go the -59 error. The remedy as instructed by Magix:
- Uninstall the software.
- Delete the "installation.ini" file.
- You can find the "installation.ini" file under C:\ProgramData\MAGIX\Programname]\installation.ini
I also removed the C:\Users\ClientSIC\AppData\Roaming\MAGIX\MM2026_Premium\ folder.
I did this and it worked.
Yesterday when I tried opening MM2026, it hung on the SetViews screen, after going through the VSTs with seemingly no problem. The only way out was through Task Manager. Then, I tried MM2025 and it did the same thing - froze at SetViews. See the images below.
I noticed that there is at least one user on the German forum with the same problem. No resolution.
I uninstalled/reinstalled MM2026 twice, removed the folders as per the above, rebooted, same problem.
So far as I know, I haven't changed anything with W11 25H2 and have not updated NVIDIA drivers, still on 581.42 Game Ready.
Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: I also put an exception in Bit Defender for Music Maker 2026 folder.
Thanks,
John CB
