Problem on both laptop and desktop running Braintree in Win 8.1
 
Trying to open an audio clip to send to my external editor (Sound Forge 11) via the Utilities menu I get a "Cannot create process" error message and Sound Forge does not even open. This is a project started in the original version of Platinum but is the first time I've trid to use the external audio editor.
I've made no changes in the registry or location of Sound Forge or any other Utilities menu
I also have Audacity as an external editor (not used much) and while Audacity will open it does not load the audio clip.
 
Opening the same project in Sonar X3e does allow the external editors to open the audio clip.
 
 [FWIW, Melodyne will create a region and open the same clip]
 
Any ideas where I might look?
 
Thanks,
Fred

Permissions problem? Maybe SONAR was set to run as administrator and it is no longer.

Spot on!
That did the trick

Does sound forge require admin rights when running standalone? If not then i dont see why elevation is required

It doesn't (or at least SF Pro 10 doesn't).  Permissions on a directory to create a temp file though might be the issue here?

I don't believe so but unless one resorts to registry hacks old plug-ins do. Pentagon is a good example. This usually is the rationale for running SONAR as administrator. Once running SONAR as administrator, other processes may require the privilege too. I believe this is how the cycle starts.
