Production Assistant 2 trial installer can't find Vegas Pro?

I use Vegas Pro 11-64 bit running under Win 7 64 bit. I downloaded the Production Assistant 2.08 trial from SCS's website. (There is only one version available for download so I assume it works for both 32 and 64 bit VP.) It will not install. As soon as I double-click the installer's .exe file it says it requires Vegas Pro and a compatible version could not be found and the installer will now close. It does not offer an opportunity to point the installer to the VP installation location; it offers only the option to click "OK" to close the message.

The only system requirement I see listed on the SCS website is that the English version of VP 11 must be installed. It is.

I think this may happening because when I installed VP 11, I unintentionally installed it to a non-default folder location. I don't know how it happened, but it ended up under "Program Files*Singular Software*Sony" (I used * to separate the folder structure because the forum software deletes slashes when I preview the post). The Singular Software folder is where I have Plural Eyes installed and the Sony sub-folder folder ended up there, at the same level as the Plural Eyes sub-folder.

Does anyone know whether the Production Assistant installer looks only for the default folder location of VP and gives up when it can't find it? If that is the case, my only option I guess is to uninstall VP and reinstall it to the default location. Although I don't like that it is installed in an odd location, it hadn't caused a problem up to this point and I have been reluctant to do an uninstall/reinstall because I would loose all my VP settings and tweaks.

Hi, John and thanks for responding. I originally downloaded the trial a couple days ago. I just downloaded it again and encountered the same problem with the fresh download. This is the error message:

The registry key was missing so I added it. The Production Assistant installer now can find Vegas Pro.

Thanks for checking on this and for providing the specific information that fixed the problem.
