sonic stage 4.3 installation problems

hi. i've spent quite some time browsing the faq, and find quite a few references to my problem (albeit related to sonic stage 3.4 software, whilst i'm trying to install 4.3).

installation just doesn't complete. it gets close to completion, but then gives me the message 'installation terminated'.

if i try to run sonic stage, i receive the message: "cannot find the OpenMG Secure Module. Error code 00005607". it seems that the OpenMG software does not get installed in the original installation process.

so i've followed instructions as to how to uninstall (conventional uninstall, plus manual deletion of installed files and regedit entries), and then reinstall, but the exact same problem occurs each time. just going round in circles!

the only step i've not followed in instructions i've found in the faq's here, is to "open administrative tools and run windows installer". I have no such program in the admin tools folder in my control panel, so i don't quite understand this. (i'm running xp by the way).

could anyone shed any light? some advice would be much appreciated, while i still have some hair left....

There have been quite a few reports of users running into problems with 4.3 on XP (myself included).

I would recommend installing 4.2, which can be found here: http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=17769

4.3 doesn't offer anything over 4.2 that I am aware of, except for Vista compatibility.

hi, thanks. i installed 4.2 and it actually went through the whole install process successfully (or so it told me). previously when trying to install 4.3 it terminated mid-installation.

so i was already celebrating, but when i try to open the installed sonic stage software, i'm getting the message again "cannot find the OpenMG Secure Module. exiting sonic stage"

its strange, because this time with 4.2 i do actually some files installed relating to openMG, which i didn't find with my previous installation attempts.

is there perhaps a way to install this OpenMG Secure Module separately? or is there something obvious i'm missing here?

thanks

Before you start fiddling around with pieces of SonicStage, get a full (offline) installer from one of Avrin's links. Uninstall what's in there now, reboot, disconnect from the internet and turn off anything in your computer that is in any way related to security. OpenMG burrows deep into your computer.

Then try installing again .Turn the security back on and reboot. See if it's working.

Otherwise, there is a link to openMG Secure Module in this post:

But for all I know, it will just make things worse.

Rapidshare is actually a filesharing service. You can download for free from them, just press the Free button at the bottom of the page (you'll have to wait for the download if you are using the free service).

Alternatively, you may try downloading and installing OpenMG 4.6 (the one that comes with SS42) using the 1st part of these instructions: http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=20310

Hello, I have exactly the same problem with the "OpenMG Secure Module".

First I tried to download the Offline Installer of Sonic Stage 4.2 but it is no longer available.

Then I tried to download the Offline Installer of Sonic Stage 4.3 but the download doesn't proceed.

It would be nice if anybody has different download sources for me because i can not find any on the internet...

Thanks and Greetings.
