hi @PedFraser,

Have you downloaded the latest version from the magix.com under your profile? From memory there were some pre-requisite errors that were fixed in one of the later updates.

Failing that, you could try going to add remove programs (windows+r, appwiz.cpl), and uninstalling all previous versions of the C++ Redistributable x86/32bit - it's quite common for there to be conflicts introduced if an old installation package doesn't handle checking for unknown future versions.

Then once done, run a windows update to ensure you have the latest version installed again.

Do let us know how you get on
