Anyone else having issues with Audition not loading?

Just installed on a new windows laptop and wont get past the loading screen. Gets stuck on load page with "Initializing (dvascripting).

Have uninstalled and re-installed, all windows updates are current. Same problem keeps happening.

Yes! Every time I try to load Audition, I get to the name new audio file and it freezes up and says "Not responding". Then it's the white screen of frozen.

Right. The first thing you should try is a clean installation. To do this, you don't use the Windows uninstaller, but instead use the Adobe CCCleaner tool, which is designed for this specific task. It cleans out a whole lot of stuff you can't see, and that the Windows uninstaller doesn't touch. You can find that here. Then run the installer again as normal, and see if it gets past the .dll issue.

Well, it's an Adobe .dll file, that presumably the installer either cannot find, or is corrupted. I presume that you are attempting to run this from the Adobe Creative Cloud app, and that this is also up to date?
