It would repeatedly crash on the "dots spinning in a circle" startup screen, turn into "attempting repairs," and then bring me to the boot recovery menu. Every time I would run the PT11 installer, when it asked for a reboot after the install completed, my computer would not boot back up. I couldn't install Pro Tools 11 on my brand new Windows 10 PC due to Pro Tools forcing me to install an outdated and unsupported PACE License Support. Essentially 2 steps: 1) Using Wusa 2) Make a forced update ( I am not sure anymore how I did manage it) But as I remember, it seems risky.I want to share with you my nightmare experience attempting to install Pro Tools 11 on my new Windows 10 machine, and share the solution I found, so that anyone in the same boat as I was in can be saved hours of headache and hair-ripping. Sorry, I did not make a better solution path the described here. So you are the next victim of iloks laziness. And I needed almost 3 hours from my costly and rare freetime to figure this out…. I would check this out, because I guess that I am not the only W7 user with this issue. Checking if one of those packages is installed is not reliable – even more when the system is older, like my, and was regularly patched. Finally I see my system was on the newest state already. After all this finally I got ilok 3.1.3 installed. But finally one boot sequence in saved mode cleaned this up. 2) The forced install of „SP2“ (KB3125574)worked, but I had all the content already and this borked my system almost – it hang during installation and did not shut down correct. Tried to uninstall with wusa showed up the package would not be there. I have had 2 situations: 1) Relating KB3033929 – the system did not show up this as installed, but when i tried to install this, the system said it was already installed. Here my answer to ilok Support after I had figured out this: - Hello, thank you – the numbering oft he packages helped me to sort out. Shame on ilok they did not fix this yet I made a Support ticket where they named These two W7 Updates. Hi, it seems obvious - but you downloaded the right variant 32/64 Bit ? I remember there was something like this on my PC too and I had to manually unpack & installing from the command line - figured out in two or three hours how this had to be done.
