Gigastudio 160 reinstallation

[Doug Bircher]

Well, after many years of happily running Gigastudio 160 on my Windows 98 computer, I finally got a new Windows XP computer. So, once I got the computer up and running fine, I tried installing Gigastudio 160. First, I'm not sure that the program installed correctly, since it seemed to abort midstream, though there are files copied to the Gigastudio directory. Then, I downloaded the patches from the Tascam site, but when I double-click on the Gigastudio 2.5 patch, the computer tells me that it is not a Win32 file and won't install it.

Does anyone know what I have to do to get Gigastudio up and running on Windows XP SP2?

After searching previous posts, I found a few that seemed to indicate that Gigastudio 160 can only be installed on a Windows XP system if you have a 2.5 full program, rather than installing 2.0 and then patching up to 2.5. I'll try calling Tascam unless someone knows of anything else.

That's correct. 2.5 or better is required for XP. 2.54 was the last of the series.
