Additional Comments

This is the 32-bit version. Vegas Pro 11 does not launch under any circumstances. Trying to launch it with stock settings causes the above mentioned crash. Turning off the error reporting client causes the message "The system is low on memory" with "Failed to initialize script host" in the error details. I initially suspected vegas110.exe was not Large Address Aware and could not check for or allocate more than 2GB of memory. But checking for this flag using CFF Explorer (which runs fine in Wine under the same prefix) shows Sony had already set this from release (unlike in Vegas 8 which caused and resolved the same low memory error when rendering). My research shows all occurrences of this specific error on Windows is a result of a broken or misconfigured .NET Framework environment. .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installs and tests fine in this version of Wine, but it is still not fully supported yet.
