MMM 2014 fresh reinstall from website

The installer for MMM2014 downloads, but once it starts up, it just stops again with no error messages.

The documentation claims it can be installed on vista/7 right through to win11. Am I wrong?

Or is the windows version not the issue? I have a copy of MMM 2014 Premium on my Win7 laptop

and wished to delete it from that machine as it is being retired. I want to download it to a Win 11 Pro HP Prodesk which is much newer and has more storage space and no problems with out of date browsers.

@Eleyan Do you mean the downloader closes itself or it switches to a pause button?

If the download simply pauses your firewall is blocking it. You need to add an exception rule or temporarily disable it.

If it crashes you need to ask customer support at infoservice@magix.net for the installer because the old downloaders no longer work.

Music Maker 2014 will definitely only officially support the operating systems that were common at its time, that would include Windows 7 or 8. It might work on 10 and 11, but that's not guaranteed.

Thank you, SP. Have you seen the d103.magix page online? It tries to claim it will be compatible with all later versions. It sucks to not know this in advance, sure. I will check how to create that firewall exception. Cheers.

@Eleyan You can also check the folder C:\Users\*YourWindowsUsername*\Documents\Magix Downloads\Installationsmanager\ on your Windows 7 computer. Maybe it still has a backup copy of the Music Maker 2014 installer.
