Is there a details button or any other information....

One thing off the top of my head is to make sure .NET is installed.
Mista Wright 6:58 PM - 24 April, 2014
there are no details button. If i could upload a picture i would but here is everything it says:
"Microsoft VIsual C++ runtime library
Runtime error!
Program: C:/Prgram Files (x86)/Serato/SeratoDJ/SeratoDJ.exe
This applicaton has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information"

Regarding the .NET, how do I go about that?
DJ Quartz 7:04 PM - 24 April, 2014
This is the download,

www.microsoft.com

In the control panel, go to uninstall a program, click on view installed updates.

Then you can search for .NET to see if it's installed.
Mista Wright 7:15 PM - 24 April, 2014
So according to my computer it says I have "Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 (.... cannot see anymore)...

I also seem to have 2 of them.
DJ Quartz 7:21 PM - 24 April, 2014
Ok then it's a different problem.

The only way I could have something to search on is from the event viewer.
Mista Wright 7:23 PM - 24 April, 2014
Could it maybe be my library?
My Music folder has over 81 gigs of music / video / live sets. I'm not sure how I would re-organize it considering the large number of songs.
All the songs are organized in folders within the My Music folder
DJ Quartz 7:32 PM - 24 April, 2014
Normally it would give you a different error.

Did you download version 1.6.2 and try running that?
Mista Wright 7:37 PM - 24 April, 2014
Yes I have only been using version 1.6.2. Seems to be the only one the DDJ SX is compatible with.
Mista Wright 7:37 PM - 24 April, 2014
Yes I have only been using version 1.6.2. Seems to be the only one the DDJ SX is compatible with.
DJ Quartz 7:47 PM - 24 April, 2014
Try this...serato.com
DJ Quartz 8:05 PM - 24 April, 2014
Let me know, if it doesn't work. I can teamviewer in and get the event viewer logs.
Mista Wright 8:06 PM - 24 April, 2014
I called customer service and the lady told me to try a Final Uninstaller to completely wipe out the Serato and try reinstalling. If that doesn't work she directed me to archives where I should try installing an older version.
DJ Quartz 8:10 PM - 24 April, 2014
Well it would be good to know what the runtime error in the event viewer details are.

But you can try it.

Uninstall completely, install 1.6.0 and then go from there.
DJ Quartz 8:10 PM - 24 April, 2014
Sometimes when that happens, a DLL file is missing or needs to be re-registered.
Mista Wright 8:24 PM - 24 April, 2014
I just tried 1.6.0 with no success. Same error
Mista Wright 8:40 PM - 24 April, 2014
So all failed. Tried a final uninstaller, tried previous version 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 and all failed.

I used your link for the Beta and it seems to be working (besides the fact it warned me about messing up my files and software and all).

There's gotta be a way for me to fix this issue and use the 1.6.2....never thought it would be so complicated to use Serato and the DDJ SX...
Mista Wright 11:36 PM - 24 April, 2014
I called again and the guy said my comp requires 2.5GHz... which is a lie because online only says 1.07 for a i7 processor??? ugh.... this is seriously bad Serato...
DJ Quartz 11:42 PM - 24 April, 2014
I need to look at your event viewer log to see if this a memory related error.

If the beta works then it sounds like collection issue.

There are things we can test to see if tihat's the case.
Mista Wright 11:59 PM - 24 April, 2014
Okay how can I let you look at the event viewer log?
I might just get the 2.4 ghz 256 gb apple macbook pro 13 inch on spe ial finance... that should solve this headache.
DJ Quartz 12:06 AM - 25 April, 2014
What is your email address, I can email you a Teamviewer session since I work for Tafari Consulting, that way you don't have to install anything.
DJ Quartz 12:09 AM - 25 April, 2014
You can PM the info, so you don't get spammed.
Mista Wright 12:15 AM - 25 April, 2014
Okay I will when I get back. My email is mbl.wright@yahoo.com
DJ Quartz 2:03 AM - 25 April, 2014
Ok message when you get back.
Mista Wright 2:40 AM - 25 April, 2014
Hey I am going to try reinstalling the .NET and if that doesn't work I am going to purchase myself a Macbook Pro. Any suggestions which one to go for? (13 inch preferably since money isn't too abundant atm, although I will finance it)
DJ Quartz 2:47 AM - 25 April, 2014
I was going to say, let me take a look first because it could be your database.
DJ Quartz 2:48 AM - 25 April, 2014
Personally, I wouldn't go anything smaller than a 15" but that's just me.
Mista Wright 3:31 AM - 25 April, 2014
Okay well reinstalling .NET did not work either. I need a new session code! Thanks for everything Quartz!
DJ Quartz 3:34 AM - 25 April, 2014
Sent to your email, no problem
Pozdnyakovv 8:00 AM - 25 April, 2014
Hello i have SONY VAIO VGN-Z11VRN. And i have this problem too. All other program work well (Traktor, VDJ). How i can resolve it with serato?
DJ Quartz 2:02 PM - 25 April, 2014
To get it working on Mista's Vaio last night I had to update his Bluetooth drivers,

His database was structure was crashing SDJ 1.6.2 and earlier versions, so we had to test with the 1.6.3 beta version which focuses on this.

However, the ddj-sx couldn't be detected by SDJ.

I had to update his USB 3.0 filter drivers. Once I did this, his SX was detected and started working successfully.

Is this Windows 7?
Pozdnyakovv 7:07 AM - 26 April, 2014
I working on Pioneer DDJ-SZ with my work PC (windows 7 pro) all is good

Yesterday I m install serato DJ on my homebook (SONY VAIO VGN-Z11VRN) when i run it popup : ""Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. This applicatioon has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way..."
On my vaio was preset windows vista, i updated it to windows 7 pro

CAN YOU help me to resolve this error?

@Pozdnyakovv,

I will need to check your event viewer to see what the application error is.

PM your email account to me.

Discussion moved to Pioneer Hardware Help
Serato, Support
Martin C 2:04 AM - 28 April, 2014
Hi Mista Wright,

I have moved your discussion into the Pioneer Hardware Help area, because you are having issues with your DDJ-SX.

In the help area you will receive assistance from the Serato support team, you are less likely to receive in the general discussion areas.

In the future, if you do experience any other issues, I recommend that you submit a help request directly. You can do so here: serato.com

This is the quickest and best way to get help from Support staff.

Cheers :)
DJ Quartz 4:38 PM - 28 April, 2014
Just to add, the reason I gave him a hand is because he contacted support directly but the solution didn't work.

From the description of the issue, the root problem was much deeper than a reinstall.

This almost appears a direct problem with the drivers for the chipsets used on those generation of Vaio laptops.
Mista Wright 5:22 PM - 28 April, 2014
I just wanted to say Thank you to DJ Quartz for helping solve my problem. After I called customer service and received 3 terrible and different responses, Quartz took the time to personally help me out. After 2 hours of patiently dealing with my craptop, he was able to solve the problem. I was very impressed and didnt think it was possible. He even saved me from buying a macbook! If it wasn't for Quartz, I would still be stressed and over $1500 more broke haha. Thank you so much for your help and solving the issue. You are seriously a very kind, intelligent person and I hope others see that as well. Thanks DJ Quartz, bottle service on me when I see you!

No problem, it was a good experience for me as well because I wanted to know what would cause such an issue right out of the box.

There is a lot of variables when working with Windows in different configurations. I know from working in the field for 20 years now.

I personally switched from a Windows laptop to a Macbook Pro about a year or more ago myself solely for DJ'ing and there is a big different I have to admit.

I spend way more time creating than troubleshooting now and that's how it should be.

Thanks again DJ Quartz!

Also Mista Wright, it sounds like you didn't actually get in touch with Serato support.. our support team is all guys at this stage. Regardless, I'm glad your issue is fixed now. I'll close this thread but feel free to open it again if you have any more questions.

Cheers,
