Video Deluxe 2026 Could Not Find a Part of the Program

Scott-Wright wrote on 1/20/2026, 9:28 PM

Team: I get an error message on program start: "Could not find a part of the program. Please install the program again." The problem is that I've already done a clean install of the program. While the program does load after this, any attempt to load a prior project causes a fatal error and the program closes. This is in version 25.0.1.316, which just updated.

Also, in the interest of completion: I've done all the normal things you'd do here-- I'm pretty close to an expert in Windows Support and build my own machines. Windows 11 64-bit is up-to-date. I'm running the latest WHQL drivers for My Radeon 9070 XT, which are the same drivers that worked for the last month and a half until today. (Out of precaution, I did reinstall.) Checks for corrupted files with SFC /scannow are clear. One Drive is paused. Ran the application as an Admin. None of these solve the problem. The crash (when I attempt to start a new project or open a prior one) is in the program .EXE itself.

@Scott-Wright

Scott, FYI, has happened before:

https://www.magix.info/us/forum/message-could-not-find-a-part-of-the-program-please-install-again--1351321/

and by the looks, not resolved.

I am able to open old projects, and i have the 316 patch installed.
