Had problems installing Sony Media Manager - for ACID 7 and Vegas 8. The help from Sony was pretty paltry - it was a long convoluted process that involved manually removing certain directories - real low-brow software engineering with an end user process that was much more like virus removal than software installation.
It always bombed on the install of SQL Server Express, so I started looking into that. I tried installing it separately and discovered that it wouldn't install correctly if the directory it is placed in was compressed or encrypted. Boing! I had compressed my hard drive.
Hey Sony! Maybe you haven't seen this much, but I can't have been the first to stumble across this problem. Try putting this is your installation problem FAQ!
