I just tried the new CsoundQT on my windows 8 computer and got a runtime
error. Here's the full error message:

Runtime Error

Program C:\Program Files (x86)\Csound6\bin\CsoundQt-d.exe

This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

I get the same error as John Colgrove in Win7 64-bit. CsoundQt does not
launch.

Prior to that, on installation, the installer complains that it has to shut
down the dropbox.exe process. No other installer has ever complained about
that. When I tell it okay, go ahead and shut it down, the installer hangs.
However, I'm able to complete the installation by opening Task Manager and
shutting off dropbox.exe manually.

Did you configure csoundqt's settings? Also, make sure that csound 5 binaries are not in CsoundQt's PATH.

I don't know how to configure the CsoundQt settings when it won't launch. Is
there a text .ini file that they're stored in?

Also, can you explain how to check the PATH? Sorry to be obtuse, but I
monkey with this stuff so seldom that I never remember how it's done.

Can someone send me more info, eg from the Windows event viewer?

Okay, I'm looking at the Environment Variables box. Here's what I see:

The "User variables for jimaikin" list includes OPCODE6DIR64 with a value of
C:\Csound6\bin\. The PYTHONPATH is the same. The RAWWAVE_PATH is
C:\Csound6\samples\.

There is no opcode64 directory in Csound6\bin\, so I'm not sure what that
variable is pointing to. That may or may not matter.

In the "System variables" list I have several variables that point to the
Csound directory (not Csound 6). These include CSOUNDRC, OPCODEDIR64,
PYTHONPATH, and RAWWAVE_PATH. What should I do with these? Should I delete
them or edit them to point to the Csound6 directory?

There is no C:\Csound6\.csoundrc, so what should I set it to? Should I
delete the OPCODEDIR64 path?

I'm sorry ... I still don't understand what you're saying. What
configuration fields? I can't open the configuration box in CsoundQt because
I can't launch the program. And I don't know what to do to exclude Csound 5
from the environment. I've found the Environment Variables box, but what
exactly do I do there? Do I delete entries? Edit entries?

Ok, I checked and I don't have any directories in the PATH variable
referencing any other version of Csound. I also ran a search for any copies
of Qt5 and there were no QT5 related files, just QT4 stuff that came
installed with another program.

I haven't tried your suggestion with the command shell as I don't know my
way around it to save my life.

On searching my C: drive, I find only four Qt dll's that have a 5 in the
file name, and those are all in C:\Csound6\bin. However: I have quite a lot
of Qt dll's that have a 4 in their filename. And those are not going away,
because they're used by the Steinberg eLicenser and by the Amazon Kindle
app.

There are also some in C:\Csound\bin, and in C:\Program Files
(x86)\CsoundQt-d-py. But again, those are all 4, not 5. Whether the number
in the filename gives the Qt version number, I wouldn't know.

I used the Advanced Settings box to remove all paths related to Csound
not-6. Then I did a restart. That didn't help.
