#1 Burning Software

We just setup a Vista x64 system to test our product on because some users are having trouble with our burner on x64 systems. We can't get StarBurn to work at all! The SDK can not find any drives on the system even though the same system has XP x86 installed on another partition and our burner finds the same drives just fine in there. We tried SPTI, ASPI and SPTD all with the same result. I then tried enabling StarBurn logging, so I could see what was going on in you code and the logging doesn't even work. We verified that the registry entires are in pacl and set correctly but the log file is never created. Again same setup in XP enables logging just fine.

Is there something special we need to do to get this to work in Vista x64?

Anything else you can suggest we try?

Vista64 works just fine here.

Where did you made StarBurn to put the logs? In write-protected root "C:" drive I guess?

Nope. It was going to C:\dvdburner\

Dan

Now I don't understand... Can you try to run your apps as "Run as Administrator". Just to make sure...

What about recent StarBurn (not SDK) from our site. Does it work?

Selecting "Run as admin" for our burner actually makes it work. We've never needed admin privileges in x86 versions of Vista so why is it required for x64 versions? Or is this something new to version 9 SDK? I haven't tested the new DLL in x86 Vista yet.

Dan

Kind of strange... I run the console samples w/o Admin privileges, only with the SPTD layer.

It's not StarBurn, it's not Version 9, it's just Vista lovely tricks

Yeah we discovered that. We installed another burner on the system, ImgBurn, and it too has to be run as admin to work.

So say "Hi" to the guys from Redmond For keeping busy all of us
