I'm fairly certain it was only after I installed build 412 that I started to get this error message when I tried to use a HiQ instrument patch.

My C: drive is a solid-state drive with limited space so I store my several gigabytes of SampleTank instruments (including the PG Music ones) on another drive and have used the "Prefs" button in the SampleTank window to point to their new location. This worked fine until I installed the above-mentioned BIAB patch.

BIAB wants to put its HiQ instruments in C:\Program Files (x86)\IK Multimedia\Instruments (or just C:\Program Files\... on a 32 bit system). When I went to this folder I noticed there were several files with 2014 dates in the various PG music instruments. If I went into SampleTank and pointed it back to this folder as the location of its instrument files then the error messages disappeared but I then lost the use of all my other SampleTank instrument files.

I copied the "Band-in-a-Box" folder from C:\Program Files (x86)\IK Multimedia\Instruments and pasted it to replace the "Band-in-a-Box" folder in the folder containing all my other instruments on the other drive. I then pointed SampleTank back to this folder and the problem seems to have been resolved.

I hope this makes sense and is helpful.
