Using Vegas Pro 13 in Windows Vista | Using Vegas Pro 10e in Windows 2000

Vegas Pro 13 in Windows Vista

Vegas Pro 13 was the last Sony's version and may be your favorite or not atleast.
As a Windows Vista now: Vegas Pro 12 was the last version until 13 dropped the support of it

Or thought so? Today I did remember getting Vegas Pro 13 working on Vista back in 05/29/2021 [twitter & discord posts]

Firstly we need to meet our Requirements.
And then Intro begins

Requirements: Intro:

Let's start with 2 Portables that you got from, You'll need 7-Zip and qBittorent to extract.
If you have any problems with this message box like these:

Problem Report (ErrorReportClient)

VEGAS Pro has stopped working

1. Delete ErrorReportClient.exe
2. Take an ownership and delete werfault.exe, wer.dll and same .DLLs that are from WinSXS & your language locale folder

If you don't know your locale: Press Win+R, Type "msinfo32", Press Enter
Anyways, after we deleted werfault.exe & ErrorReportClient.exe, It's time to swap around x86 folders (VP13's x86 to VP12's):


Swapping VP13's x86 folder into VP12's

And after we did all the changes...

Tada! but Three Problems:

  • You cannot render the video
  • You cannot use VSTs
  • Application Errors Message Box will randomly pop up If you strech the video/media



Vegas Pro 10e in Windows 2000

If you using this virtual machine, I'll recommend ignoring the Requirements

Requirements:

On the Vegas Pro 10a Build 387 Portable, you don't get any errors after all.
But in Vegas Pro 10e, There was one... and It's ErrorReportClient.exe again
Again after we apply our renaming/delete change..

Vegas Pro 10e on Windows 2000

Tada again with no rendering + VST Servers problems.
If things should work right now, Then you're able to success having your Vegas Pro 10e/13 on Windows 2000/Vista!
