Hi, I have encounterred the same issue, but on win XP. Version 1.9 works fine, version 1.10 or higher not.
As we are currently on 1.11, here are my notes.
1.11 - first run, I selected the library folder and It crashed. After second run it crashed again with the
Debug: [Main]: Dynamically loaded "C:/Program Files/Mixxx/plugins/soundsource/soundsourcemediafoundation.dll" process not found.
1.10 the same issue here. I installed files from comment 15 and It works partially.
The issue here now is that it displays just something like blank window titled Mixxx 1.10 alpha and I can just resize, maximize or close it. But it seems, that this is caused by some conflict between Mixxx and My screen reader. As a blind computer user, I am using NVDA (non visual desktop access)
http://nvda-project.org
When I turn off NVDA and run mixxx, it displays everithing correctly, so I can start NVDA and use it regularrly.
I didn't have this issue with 1.9.
What i should do now:
Try older versions of NVDA to see differences.
Try some builds of mixxx 1.11 which crashed previously to see, if it works with the new installed runtime.

I attahed the mixxx log from the session, where probably NVDA did something so it didn't display correctly, but maybe this issue should be discussed in separated ticket. Now I am unable to definitelly say if the displaying issue is really just because of the screenreader or it is something regarding the original description of this ticket.
