Hey, I purchased Music Maker 80's from Humble Bundle but when I try and click the shortcut on my desktop, the program starts launching and has the loader but nothing happens.Same happens if I try and go directly to install directory, it just has the loader but doesn't actually start it.
I have this same exact issue. Using windows 10 and Music Maker 80's just shows the loader and then nothing happens.
I get the following errors in the log:
17.04.18 03:20:21 WARN MuMa.NameList NameListBase: Could not load C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\MAGIX\Music Maker\Features_mm25\FeatureVersions.xml 17.04.18 03:20:21 WARN MuMa.NameList NameListBase: Could not load C:\ProgramData\MAGIX\Common\Database\InstrumentVersions.xml 17.04.18 03:20:21 FATAL MxQt.default ASSERT: "!isEmpty()" in file c:\Qt\Qt5.7.0\5.7\msvc2013_mx_57006\include\QtCore/qlist.h, line 341
Assuming that you are not referring to the Installer not loading correctly and the program installation completed OK.
From the error log:
. . . . C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents . . . .
Do you log on to the computer with USERNAME as your logon name?
. . . . c:\Qt\Qt5.7.0\ . . . .
Did you change the default installation folder paths to install the program directly in the root of the C: drive ie set the folder path to c:\ ?
If so then the installation has been compromised - assuming you are on Windows 10 or 8, re-install the program following this tutorial and do not change the default installation folder paths.

I am referring to starting Music Maker after completing a successful installation.
I have run the installer with the default locations. The only default option I changed was the bundled PC checker software. The log snippet above is only altered to hide my computers username.
I followed the steps in your linked tutorial. sfc did not find any corrupted items after the first run, so I only ran it the one time.
Music Maker installs in the following directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MAGIX\Music Maker\25
I found the following path in the install.cfg file:
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\MAGIX\Music Maker\
This includes the Features_mm folder from the log above, however that folder is empty.
The folder C:\ProgramData\MAGIX\Common\Database mentioned above has a single file in it. SoundPoolDB.dat
It does not include the missing InstrumentVersions.xml
In regards to you thinking I've installed directly to the C:\ directory. The error message that references that is a common one in the qt.io library. see this post where someone gets this same exact error message on a different project using qt.io
I'm am lead to believe that I need one or both of those missing files in order to get past this error. Those files are NOT included anywhere in the install.
I would also like to clarify that I downloaded the install file from www.magix.com site when I registered the key from Humble Bundle.
On a side note, when I tried to submit a trouble ticket through the support portal, the app that gives your PC specs is totally borked also and doesn't work.
there isn't a way I could get those two default xml files and see if adding them fixes my problem, is there?
Hi
. . . . there isn't a way I could get those two default xml files . . . .
I do not think they would help - they only contain information about the instruments that are installed when you download and install them, and that varies from one user to another.
If you want to try creating them then without instruments entries the xml file for both just contains:-
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<instruments>
</instruments>
