Graham, I haven't read every word in this thread but I see the problem. First, a VSTi and DXi are completely different. The i stands for instrument, if there's no i then it's an effect like reverb, delay, whatever. There is nothing for you as a user to do regarding a Dxi. It simply installs with Biab, that's it. You select the Coyote Wavetable as already described, hit Play and you hear your midi instruments.

This is dead simple.

You DO NOT need to manually install a DXi but you DO need to manually install a VSTi. It's important you understand that difference. I keep saying people really need to have a basic understanding of this stuff. You could have saved yourself however many hours of aggravation you've gone through.

Open your external PGM drive and click on Setup. See the three options. One of those is to install just Biab alone, not the Real Tracks. When the installation window opens you'll see the Coyote Dxi is checked by default. Let Biab install using the defaults and you'll be good to go. You won't lose anything, Biab just installs on top of itself and all your songs and whatever else you have in your Biab folder stays the same.

It that doesn't work then it's a problem with your computer itself, not Biab. Make sure your PC boots up with you as Admin, not a user then reinstall Biab. Admin should be the default but you had someone else reinstall your system so check that. Yes, you can also right click on the Biab icon and select Run as Administrator. But why do that alone, it's your computer you should be the Admin for everything.
