I set things up for Windows 7 compatibility, and then ran the setup as administrator and poof - it worked. They didn't say anything about running it in compatibility mode, but to be safe
#Silkypix developer studio se review install#
Install the latest version of "SILKYPIX Developer Studio 3.0 for PENTAX." Change the file name of the "IsProBE.tlb" file to "IsProBE_old.tlb".ĥ. Right-click the "IsProBE.tlb" file in this "RunTime" folder.Ĭhoose "Rename" from the displayed context menu.ģ. Open the following "RunTime" folder by " Computer"Ĭ:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Professional\RunTimeĬ:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\InstallShield\Professional\RunTimeĢ. For the sake of anyone else who has this problem, I'm reproducing the instructions here:ġ. They directed me to rename a particular file. That it was a problem with an old version of install shield. I suppose it would have been in the middle of the night for them ( over in Japan ), but I just got a response back, indicating There's a few other things I didn't like about Lightroom, but it's been a few years so I don't remember them.ĭid you get SilkyPix to install?Earlier today I had sent an email query to Silkypix support. Admittedly, this was more of a problem with my old machine than it's likely to be with the new one, but from a design philosophy point of view, I dislike this approach even if it isn't crippling my machine. I don't want to have to wait while it sucks in all the images in the folder. When I want to edit/convert a file using another program, I want the editor/converter to come up with only that file loaded. It's my default program for 90% of what I do. And if you are not interested in the archive/library functions of LR the others may be less work.Yeah, it's mostly the archive/library stuff that bugs me, and the fact that it has to import everything in a folder any time you invoke it.

Too bad, but there are lots of other RAW converters available. I've found that people with lots of Photoshop experience seem to not get how LR works because the workflow is so different. But others don't seem to 'click' with it. It just seemed to fit my workflow, and I love it. Seems to be a like it or hate it kinda program. I have PSE 9, and it will likely work much faster on this machine than it did on my old one, so I'll probably use that while I look for a new Raw converter. I wonder if the fact that I had it installed on my old machine is preventing the installation on my new machine - is it possible they track that kind of thing? That said, I don't think I'd pay for an old version that's been crippled so it only converts images from the K-30. Unlike some who have tried it, I actually like Silkypix - it's a much better match to my preferred workflow. RE: Lightroom, I have a strong dislike for that program. I just tried it and it doesn't seem to work, at least not how I tried it ( invoking it on the exe file that's on the installation disk ). If I had to pay $25 I would take that $25 and add another $75 and buy Lightroom, but that's just me.Thanks for the suggestion on the compatibility mode. Have you tried installing it in legacy mode or whatever it is called? Compatibility mode maybe?
