I have always used the Celtic SlowWaltz guitar for songs... I just updated to 2018 and that instrument does not show up now on the style. The folder under RT has that guitar ("1815") I re-loaded the download and everything but that one guitar shows up ... what am I missing? How do I get that to work?
I reloaded #173 which has two guitars the other a 4/4 #1814 and it is there but not the waltz.... I thought maybe it means that I have to have another style to make it work BUT I have about 30 backing tracks created using that guitar #1815... before I loaded the upgrade to 2018. I am totally confused.
The folder says it was updated yesterday .. and it has several files in it: ag2561-2575 ...wma files. I've rebuilt several times.

Just so that I can get a clearer picture of your situation in my mind, could you please answer the following questions...
When you say you 'updated', how did you do this?
What package did you purchase to update with?
Are both BIAB and Realtracks installed on your computer's internal hard drive?
Did you install the new version of the program over your old version (that is, in the same folder as your previous version)?
Just started a "chat" with live help. Went from 2016 to 2018 BIAB [PRO], Reloaded Set #173, Yes both are on internal drive, Yes did the same folder over the old.
Live Chat might have solved your problem by now... if not, though, something that has worked for a couple of people with similar problems as yours is as follows.
1. Log-in into your sales account.
2. Go to "My Products".
3. Scroll down a bit and you'll see all the files that are available with your purchase. Download the the installation file that contains set 173 and install that.
Sometimes getting the latest version of the installation file seems to contain what appears to be missing from the original installation file.
Add updated printing options, enhanced tracks settings, smoother use of MGU and SGU (BB files) within PowerTracks, and more with the latest PowerTracks Pro Audio 2024 update!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
