as i cannot boot in my main OS (XP) which i used for music production, i tried to build a similar
environment on another computer in order to access old projects.
which wont work because i installed cubase 6 on it, and the latest update to 6.0.7 wont work under XP,
but i know that at least 6.0.3 did.
so if now i try to load an old project, 6.0.2 freezes as i assume, it cannot handle projects from higher
upgrades (i think my latest was 6.0.3)
so i now i was looking for these older updates but couldnt find any on the steinberg site except the most
recent 6.0.7.
Cubase works fine on XP up to 6.5.4 - I have run every version.
6.5.5 is a bit more tricky, but if you unpack the installer on a Win7 system, then run the individual files back in your XP environment, you can get 6.5.5 to work.
I know that doesn’t resolve your problem, but it might be handy to know. I am about to build an alternative system with Win7 x64 for a different location, but I intend to keep my trusty XP system running too - it has been just brilliant.
Meanwhile, I would suggest that you try 6.00 then the updates to 6.07 again. Netframework version might need to be newer too?
If it helps, you can PM me, I have four versions 6.0.1 to 6.0.4 archived here.
