Fix: ColorLab on 64 bit Windows

I've been chasing a particularly depressing problem the last few days, which involved ColorLab crashing Vegas on my single core machine. Well, it turns out it wasn't my bug.

If you get a fatal error message about an exception in Vegas the instant you open the ColorLab user interface dialog (e.g. when just adding the effect), AND you are running good old 32-bit Vegas on Windows XP x64 Edition, then this hotfix from Microsoft may help you.

The problem is described in this KB article.

I had the problem in Vegas 8.0b, 8.0c as well as the trial of Vegas Movie Studio 9, it'll probably manifest itself in other versions as well. Just putting the fix out here on the off-chance that someone runs into it.

Installer problem

Sorry people. I've received several reports of only seeing a blank settings dialog, or none at all. It's likely this is a problem with the installer, which isn't registering the user interface DLL.

I'm changing installer system from NSIS to Windows Installer for beta 4, which should hopefully fix the problem. I'll post a new version as soon as I've ironed out the kinks.
