I have a 24-bits Soundblaster soundcard with support for soundfont but when I try to install Vienna Soundfont v2.3 (latest version, downloaded from here: http://www.soundblaster.com/soundfont/downloads.asp) the installer doesn't work. Is it possible to install this program on a Windows XP machine?

Here's my setup:

Windows XP Service Pack 2
P4, 512meg of RAM
40gig HD
cheap 24-bits Soundblaster soundcard:

:help:

Didn't you receive a copy of Vienna on the install disk that came with your Soundblaster card? Does that one install OK?

Unfortunatly there's no Vienna Soundfont editor with the install disk of this soundcard... there's just a sounfont loader application to load soundfont into RAM to play midi files with.

All of the Soundblaster cards I have had before (three to date) have had Vienna on the install disk as well as some other programs and games. :shrug:

So, perhaps you have a card that is a 'Soundblaster compatible' card?

However, if Vienna won't work work with it, then you could try "Viena", which is a similar program that is platform/Hardware independent. Go here:

Synthfont's Viena

I found how to install Vienna on Windows XP, I use the Wizard compabilities application & run the installer in Win98/2000 mode & it worked! :D
There's really no version of Vienna on the disc that comes with this soundcard, this is a really cheap piece of hardware (50$ canadian) so there's just some soundfont loader app to play midi files with, that's all.

Do you try download the file AGAIN? maybe a corrupt download.
