well I'm stumped


It is not an issue with the USB hard disk drive installer for HI-Q "x:\PGMusic\Installers\hi-q_instruments_sampletank_01-02.exe" I just ran it

ALL it does is install the (.stw, .stip, .sth, and .sti files) to the \Band-in-a-Box\ sub-directory of where ever I tell it. It does NOT install the DX Setting folder or add any files to it!

And it's not the USB HDD "BB\DX Settings" folder or contents because I copied those files over mine and everything is good. I even INSTALLED them (using the custom install and selecting ONLY the option:

"Install and Register DX\VST plugins"

And then only the sub-item "SampletTank TGS files and presets"

Installing BIAB, in it's entirety, from my USB to trouble any further is pointless, since my USB now (and within two days of having it) reflects my DESKTOP files not the files as shipped (long story on how I do things). Most of the installs only COPY files from USB to desktop anyway and they all work (since from my working desktop) so no gain or insight from myself at least - sorry

This will end up being a TRIVIAL "fix" I know it.

But as a two data points - for whomever:

On my Win 7 64 Desktop, I have BB and IK stuff 100% installed on my D drive (as described in my not so useful posts). Everything works!

On my Win XP Laptop I have BB installed in a subdirectory of C:\ called Music "C:\Music\bb\..." and the SampleTank stuff is installed in the default C:\Program Files\IK Multimedia folder BUT all the instrument subfolders (I do mean all of them) are installed in actual ST executable folder (sloppy I know but that's me) so - the BIAB HI-Q "stuff" is in folder at:

C:\Program Files\IK Multimedia\SampleTank 2.5\Band-in-a-box\

And it all works there as well.


I will ponder some more (but I think I now need a Scotch)
