I tried this and it does not work in my case. I think I had this file becuase I had something else using Rewire but I did not recall what was using it. But up until 2 weeks ago I was not using Ableton. I also have a lot going on when I use Cubase. I use D-Touch for Cubase along with Vienna Ensemble Pro. I use Native Instruments. The only thing that worked for me was to uninstall the redistributable. But that also disables VSL, Native Instruments, D-Touch, and who knows what else.
I uninstalled D-Touch, VIenna (which would be a big problem), and even Native Instruments. Same problem.
Then I saw this thread before I called Cubase or started this thread:
I do use Ableton now but I only started using it a few weeks ago. And the only reason why I started using Ableton is because of the crashes.
I think it’s deeper than Rewire. I really wished it was only Rewire.
