If you have installed BB to the usual location, which is c:\bb, make sure that this is the same directory. "C:\" wouldn't be a location to install BB to, because that is the root folder.


Have Fun!

That's right, however for years i kept BIAB installed on a separate drive or partition because the folders are simply too large for my C partition, with Audiophile about 1.5 TB. My C partition needs to be regularly backed-up, so i keep the C boot partition down to about 200 GB (on a SSD drive) these days. This since windows generally has sometimes fatal (& too many?) errors, and has to be reinstalled, once in a while. That's quite easy done with something like Seagate DiskWizard.

So I recommend either to use the original BIAB drive if you have and use it, or create a separate drive or partition of about 2 TB for your BIAB (Audiophile) stuff. I install f.i. my programs even in a separate partition, and also use a separate USB drive (or internal drive or partition) dedicated to BIAB only. I rerouted in my case the standard installation to L:\BIAB 2017, and if necessary rerouted the RealTracks and Drums folders (via preferences if needed) to: L:\BIAB 2017\RealTracks\ and L:\BIAB 2017\Drums\. -F

Message says I don't have 2017 installed. Not that long ago I installed 456 no problem, I just installed Realtracks update 1/20/17 no problem. BIAB says I should have C:\bb as destination which is where real tracks went but Biab says I don't have it. I can get styles from 11/16 so the program is there, that's all I can tell you. If I need a reinstall, I will. Thanks

Is the problem specific to the Build 457 patch? What about if you try the build 456 patch.

I don't know what happened, 456 would not go this time, I did a reinstall and everything is fine. 457 went in no problem. I was surprised I didn't have to put in the id numbers again but that's okay with me, lol. thanks for the help.
