Note the important remark at the end. This was put here because Windows 10 was in existence when Studio v29 was released in (Windows 10 was released in ). They had not designed it to be compatible with Windows 10 so they specifically warn as such.

Even though the latest v04 Release Notes are dated 2/, there is no similar mention of Windows 10 or how it may cause issues. One reason for this may simply be the fact that the original v00 was released in before Windows 10 existed and it's Release Notes could not have mentioned Windows When the newer v04 were released in , the Release Notes were updated but the important remark for Windows 10 was not added. It could have been, but was possibly just not thought of?

Either way, Studio v21 and v29 are officially not compatible with Windows I always like to make it clear that they/I are stating that these versions of software are not "officially" supported, but that does not mean that they will definitely not work at all.

A couple of tricks that some users are finding various degrees of success with

For the particular software version, set the "rushbrookrathbone.co.uk" executable file properties to Windows XP SP3 compatibility.

Also, try right-clicking on the executable file and "Run as Administrator". If this works, it usually only takes the once. After a reboot it should then always open (if it works). Make sure it is the actual executable file for version 21, etc. and not the Studio shortcut on the Desktop or similar.

If you are still in trouble perhaps you could post up the error text or a screenshot if possible? That way we may be able to further narrow things down here.

jstolaruk is setting your heading in the right direction to start with.

George
