Hi,
I have installed a trial version of Sibelius7 (latest one 32 bit) on Windows 7(64 bit) updated with the latest Microsoft fixes.
My problem is that every time I want to start Sibelius it displays this error message "There was a problem with file permissions" and after I click OK then it's gone, it doesn't start.
The thing is that it used to work but my computer crashed while I was using Sibelius, editing some sheet music, and since it fails to start as described above.
Could you please help me?
Thanks
Sibelius fails to start File permissions problem
Sibelius installs a 32 and 64 bit version.
The 32 bit version is in Computer/(drive where Sib is installed)/Program files (x86)/Avid/Sibelius 7/Sibelius exe.
The 64 bit version is in Computer/(drive where Sib is installed)/Program files/Avid/Sibelius 7/ Sibelius exe.
Right click the desktop icon for Sibelius/select Open File Location and you will see which version you are using. Go to the other exe (either will work).
If niether will open , you might try deleteing the whole thing and reinstall. Or just reinstall over the old installation
