Missing Styles #390471 01/15/17 04:20 AM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

OP P Glaser Apprentice P Joined: Jul 2015 Posts: 233 Florida	After doing a fresh install of BIAB 2017 Ultra-Plus Pak on my new computer, I notice in the style picker that some of the (supposedly) available "Ultra-Plus Pak" styles are missing. In Style Picker I see this: Jazz - 2 styles are missing. Country - 14 styles are missing. Traditional/World - 3 styles are missing. Pop/Rock - 24 styles are missing. Other - All 94 styles are there. Have I installed BIAB wrong? What am I doing wrong here? I did go back and install all the bonus material I've collected over the years. Thanks for any help. If this has already been discussed elsewhere, please redirect me.

There were some missing style issues that were addressed in a recent update. Here's the link to the update site. Simply download and run (with BIAB closed). http://www.pgmusic.com/support_windowsupdates.htm Regards, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2025 audios on Soundcloud

What I find interesting is that when I went back and looked at BIAB 2016 installed on my old machine, I see the same thing, (although the numbers were different), and I know it was up to date.

My total number is 5300 or sometimes 5298 or 5299 (dont know why it changes. lol) Then carry out actions 1,2 and 3 and the resulting list will tell you exactly what is missing AND what Sets etc they are from. Then its just a matter of reinstalling those specific sets and you should be good to go.

To see the full-size image, right click on the picture and select "View image". When the image opens, you will probably get a magnifying glass with a '+' sign in it. If this is the case, left-click and the image should expand to full-size. Then it's very easy to read. It says... "Show styles that are found/not found". Regards, Noel MY SONGS...

FWIW my missing (N/A) number was much lower here. Closer to about 470 or so, and it did go down when I installed the newer RTs to the drive allocated in BiaB as the correct location, though not much. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!

Following your instructions it appears that I have no missing styles and yet the discrepancy in the numbers still persists. Any other thoughts? Thanks.

However, when I checked the actual build number, it was two patches behind. After running the patches the missing styles number was unchanged. Thanks.

I cant find the thread at the moment but I'm sure that Dr Gannon answered on this. IF you have 2017 Ultra Plus Pack and all the Extras Packs and Bonus Packs, the total of all Styles (RT and midi) should read 5300 or darned close.
