The Lighting Controller

Hi, I am using a PC on Windows 8.1 that has Sweetlight V7.1 installed and a lightshow on it (called default).

I want to export the V7.1 lightshow to import in on a Windows 10 PC to then push it to the Rack 1024. I am facing two issues :

- For the moment my Windows 8.1 PC is unable to update to Windows 10, so I HAVE to use another PC.
- When Exporting the lightshow, and importing on V9, the program starts to load, but then shuts down.

I am a newbie to using these softwares/hardware, and cannot find documentation. Any idea why this is happening?

The Rack 1024 is recognized by the V7.1.

My original goal was to just push the Pages onto the Rack, I have not a real need to update the software version if it's not needed for this purpose.

Thanks a lot,

There is around 10 years from V7 to the interface Rack1024, so V7 does not manage this interface.
You have first to go from V7 to V8, and then go from V8 to V9.
Caution #1: there may be some minor problems with the lightshow. For more infos: https://forum.thelightingcontroller.com ... php?t=4342
Caution #2: V9 needs different USB drivers than V7 & V8. For more infos: https://forum.thelightingcontroller.com ... php?t=5690

Hi, thank you for your reply! I am unable to access the V8 on https://download.thelightingcontroller. ... re/V8/new/, it says "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource.".

Any idea how I can get the v8 ?

Thx a lot!

[Edited] Actually, I think I'm taking the problem on the wrong way around. I should be able to transfer my lightshows onto the Rack 1024 with V7, correct?

Then once this is done, I can safely update to windows 10, then run V8, then v9 and make the necessary adjustements if needed in the light shows, correct? Is there any documentation I can get to on how to do this?

Thanks again, and apologies as I am really new to this!

So... i've advanced. Managed to install v8 on windows 8.1 (where my V7.1 is installed). I managed to open it and I see that v8 recognizes v7 lightshow. (I had to rename the TheLightingShow folder of v7 to 'OLD' in order for v8 to start up). HOWEVER, the v8 will crash upon loading when I load my v7 light show.

Any idea why?

Please post a link to download a ZIP of your lightshow.
We will try to check that.

Hello, apologies for the delay I had an issue with accessing the computer files. Here are the link to the lightshow in version 7 that I would like to turn into version 9 : https://we.tl/t-RsplpnfmoJ
