PG Music Band-in-a-Box 2024 Update Build 1113 with Activated Patch WiN

Band-in-a-Box is an intelligent automatic accompaniment program for your multimedia computer. You can hear and play along to many song ideas and go from "nothing" to "something" in a very short period of time with Band-in-a-Box as your “on demand” backup band.

Band-in-a-Box 2024 (Build 1113) Update

This will update Band-in-a-Box to version 2024 (build 1113) from any previous Band-in-a-Box 2024 build.

You must have Band-in-a-Box Version 2024 already installed in order for this update to work, and you must install it to your existing Band-in-a-Box folder. This is usually C:bb if you have Band-in-a-Box installed on your computer hard drive, or X:bb if you are running the program directly from a PG Music hard drive (replace X with your USB drive letter).

This patch includes some RealTracks and Drums updates. Make sure to select the correct RealTracks and Drums folders or these files won't be updated.

Your currently installed bbw.exe and bbw64.exe build will be backed up to the bbDataBackupBuilds folder. If you need to run the previous build for some reason, you can copy the files back into the main bb folder and run them from there.

You need to have Band-in-a-Box closed prior to installing this update.
