Jan, there is a button in the StylePicker dialog to Rebuild the List.
On my system, every time I upgrade, BIAB asks me to do the Rebuild the first time I click on the Style button.
BIAB 2026 Win Audiophile. Software: Fender Studio One 8, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Presonus Quantom HD8 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.

I clicked "Rebuild" a dozen times. Finally, I re-installed 2010.5 and regained all my RealTracks. Then I installed 2011 over it and re-installed all the new RealTracks.
I now have access to all of them. The only anomaly is that at the bottom of the "Category" pick list "RelaTracks" lists only 102-121, but the rest are available
within their respective categories.
At least I can access them all now. Glad I saved my old USB drive ...
Thanks,

Hello Jan,
Glad that the problem is fixed.
Note that version 2011 has an updated bbw.lst file. The separate 'Styles with RealTracks' categories were removed from the top, since you can access those under the 'regular' genres. For example, instead of 'styles with realtracks (country)', you would just look under 'Country', and all the styles with RealTracks will be at the top.
RealStyles (BB .STY files that are entirely RealTracks instruments) have an underscore, and .STY files that have some RealTracks and some MIDI have an equals sign in front of the style name.

Thanks Andrew !
Would the Ultra PlusPak USB Upgrade give me all the styles, drums and RealTracks Ihad in 2010 as well as the new 2011 in one place ?
I'd gladly pay an extra 40 bucks not to have to go through this double re-install again.

As I posted in an other place and time, and seeing as Andrew is here, can the word RealTracks get an abbreviation, I can't read what's to the right of it in style picker due to space limitations in the column.

As posted I have had similar problems with the install. My problem is getting the new styles to work.
I do know that part of my problem with the installation has to do with Norton Internet Security. It allowed one file to install. The PG download site is considered suspicious with relatively view downloads. Even after disabling the Norton it didn't work properly. It downloads the files but they don't install.
In the meanstime I did download a huge program Garritan JBB3 without any problems. My problem has to do the downloads - I am about 95% certain.
Since I ordered the hard drive version I am giving up and waiting for the drive to arrive - I hope soon.

Well same problem here with the new HD install of BIAB - no new RTs found. Seems the fix is to reinstall???

OK, I hit restore to factory, and rebuild styles - and it then found the new RTs - but they sounded like Hell. So I closed BIAB and reopened. And all was well. 
Btw - Brent Mason - wow!

So then I noticed a lot of NA's in the new column in the style picker which indicates these are not found, but I have "everything". So I hit the "find new styles" and all the NA's went away.
