Re: Composite 2013 SP1 Installation Crapfest
I didn't claim "they" would be able to solve the problem. Still having access to Stephen Blair is obviously priceless. The only thing I really wanted to highlight was that this is the kind of stuff "they" should be made aware of even if we have access to the "one and only" xsisupport to actually solve it. This is stuff that should not only be figured out and fixed on a per user basis, but on the application level. And yes, I apparently overlooked that "specific" previous post when writing my remarks - so I shouldn't have included your name - sorry! But the gist of what I wanted to point out still stands, regardless, I believe. Ever since xsisupport involuntarily left "their" building, I'm unsure if writing stuff here is enough to actually reach "them" as well.ActionArt wrote:Yes, see previous post.

Did any of you file this a potential show stopper over at Support (and by that I mean the "anonymous" Support that lives in the “Subscription Center”, not our very own (former) “Head of Support" xsisupport).
I haven't had a chance to try all the help from Steven yet but will shortly.
;)
Stay safe, sane & healthy!
Re: Composite 2013 SP1 Installation Crapfest
Yes indeed, it really needs to be fixed in the actual install if they're going to include this thing.
Don't worry, they'll be well aware of it if they aren't already ;)

Re: Composite 2013 SP1 Installation Crapfest
Got it! [thanks to Steve]
First thing I did was try writing the toxik.ini file.....nope Composite still crashes.
So, from the command prompt, I know this works:
So then I tried:
..and that still crashed...so I knew it wasnt the ASDK_COMPOSITE_LICENSE
So then I figured it was something that the setenv.bat is setting...turns out its SI_HOME.
So now this worked from the command line...
So, for a permanent solution, all I ended up doing was adding SI_HOME as an environment variable and I'm back in business. No more crashes and I can run Composite by double-clicking the icon from the desktop.
Hope this helps other out there.

If you can get me a Process Monitor log, I'll take a look and see if there's anything obvious going wrong (well, obvious from a Process Monitor point of view)ActionArt wrote:Still didn't work for me, made no difference here.
Re: Composite 2013 SP1 Installation Crapfest
Thanks to Stephen, I've got this figured out.
I was missing this registry key (for whatever reason).

Just in case anyone else has this issue.

Re: Composite 2013 SP1 Installation Crapfest
I installed SP2 and the whole program is unusable the interface flickers, this is unacceptable. I'm not in a need to composting anything, I want to find out the reason for this.
