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.
After re-installing it's necessary to also update BIAB if you want to have the latest build. 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).

Thanks Noel. I'll DL the patches and check but I'm pretty sure that it's up to date.
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.
I found I had some missing and like you I have had Ultra pack for ages with all the Extra packs etc. So - go to Stylepicker and clear and refresh. 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. HTH Ian

The image is actually a very large one. Unfortunately, the forum software has shrunk it to fit within the display column.
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".

Thanks very much for that Ian! I'll give it a try and let you know. Is there a option to install individual styles? I don't remember seeing one.
I know when I installed the recent Realtracks (note these were not styles but realtracks) this 'N/A' number reduced. 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!

You will see which Set it is from in the column to the right. You can DL any missing sets via your Account. Ian

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

Interesting Noel. I used the "update" feature in BIAB and it told me I was up to date. However, when I checked the actual build number, it was two patches behind. After running the patches the missing styles number was unchanged.
I load my BiaB / RB on to my audio drive, and for 2017 I had to fully remove 2016 before all my Xtra Styles showed up...took me an extra day to get the system setup. I also have 5300 styles when it is all said and done.
I would like to hear from PG Music on how many styles folks SHOULD have that own the 2017 Ultra Pak with the 49 Bonus AND both Xtra Styles packs....
i5 3.20GHz, 32gb RAM, 1tb SSD OS, 12tb HDD, 4gb gForce vid card, 32" monitor, Audient id44, Win10 x64, BiaB/RB 2023, Reaper 6,IK Multimedia Total Studio 3.5 MAX, Waves 10

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. HTHY Ian
