All the soloist tracks have gone into a folder called 'soloist' rather than spread into the various folders in which they belong, e.g. guitar, piano etc.
Ya, looks like a problem. I ran the same report and here is what it should say. I have to run off to the day job, but I am sure there is a fix someone will recognize. Good luck.
What size PAK do you have, Patrick? This error can sometimes happen if you have the Pro or MegaPAK because they don't include all of the RealTracks. This can also happen with the larger PAKs if the RealTracks are not installed properly. Re-installing them usually helps.
The Cleanup routine mentioned by AudioTrack helps those with BIAB 2018 and earlier to reorganize the folders and file locations. Since you registered in 2018 it’s possible you have a version this will help. Since it can do no harm if everything is already in the right place, you should run it.

See this screen shot of the issue .....
I think you have a download copy of the Band-in-a-Box 2022 UltraPAK, is this correct? Have you downloaded all of the RealTracks? In the RealTracks Picker dialog, if you sort by set number, can you see that there is a certain range of RT sets that you are missing?

If you go to Help | What Add-Ons Do I Have, under NOT FOUND there is a RealTracks sections in specific where you can see what's not installed for the instruments. If you have an UltraPAK or higher, you can use this dialogue to see exactly what's missing for the RealTracks, and then you can go and download just the items you need. If most of them are missing, you may want to re-run the Download and Install Manager (for an UltraPAK or higher, make sure the upgrade option is unchecked so you can get all your content that you're entitled to).
Thanks Andrew - yes Ultra Pak .... maybe this is part of answer. I am trying to install this onto my surface pro so that I can play with this stuff when I'm on the move so this is the first installation BAIB on this machine .... could that be it given this url is for an upgrade?
I have re-downloaded and installed from scratch which has rolled back the latest release but has still left me with the same errors.
I have just replied to Andrew and put a few screen shots associated with a complete re-install and download. It didn't help .... here is a screen shot of the missing add ons even though the BIAB Download Manager reported a successful install. ... https://www.screencast.com/t/6DyxvUs2f1y

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.

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."
