Movie Studio Platinum 2025 Won't Install

Skylar-Jensen wrote on 3/19/2025, 5:17 AM

Whenever I open the installer, it simply says that "There may not enough space on the target drive" and closes itself. I don't know which drive it's referring to, but even my most cluttered drive still has more than 300 GB of space available. It gives me no options to change its target drive or do anything else with it. I'm not sure what the problem is.

I have ensured my Windows 11 is up to date, and my AMD driver is too. I've tried restarting my PC, and have deleted and redownloaded the installer. Even tried placing it in different drives whenever I opened it. But nothing so far has produced a different result.

Hi and welcome to the user to user forums.

It's the C: drive that is important. 2TB should be sufficient but really depends on the amount of free space on that drive. It should ideally also be an SSD of some kind.

Yes, it is an SSD and has nearly 1 TB remaining.

Hi

. . . . Whenever I open the installer, . . .

Check that your Antivirus program is not blocking the installation, how you do this depends on the Antivirus program you have installed.

If the installer and software installer are not being blocked, the installation of Magix Movie Studio (MMS) has 3 phases:

  1. The Download Manager (DM) downloads the program.
     
  2. The program install which is initiated by the DM on download completion.
     
  3. After activation install of all the Extra Content

If the error is at step 1 or 2, please raise a support ticket, you may need to obtain a direct download link for MMS and do some clean-up on your PC.

Use the Support link at the top of this page, Select Movie Studio and scroll down to the bottom of the second page to Contact Support, selecting Contact (Email) Support on the third page, follow through the dialogues and send the message.
