Have installed resolve but cannot find or open program.open

PostSun Aug 01, 2021 4:13 am

I have installed resolve but in the Black Magic menu there is only Davinci Resolve control panels and no option to open the program itself?

When I try to reinstall it says it is already installed and it would need to be uninstalled first.
If I search for it there is no Davinci Resolve Studio to open and no installed program to uninstall.

Any advice to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

not much info for anyone to go on here... which OS to start?

It sounds like you might be starting the control panels app.. not resolve?

You have probably installed Resolve with an account that isn't an administrator. While you can still start the application directly with its .exe file, your user account won't have the icons.

Best bet is probably to uninstall and then reinstall as an administrator.

I had the same thought as Roger. Best to do this work from an Admin account.
