I am wondering if I messed something up...
When I open BB it now says:

Plogue Art et Technologie, Inc Sforzando
Cannot find install directory

Could not load Hi-Q patch... Sforzando not installed....


How do I fix this?

Thanks!

I don't know how/where BiaB knows the link.
If it was OK but now is not, maybe try:

Options->Return To Factory Settings->...MOST...
or possibly:
Options->Return To Factory Settings->...ALL...


FYI, my files are here:

./Program Files (x86)/VstPlugins/sforzando VST_x86.dll
./Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Digidesign/DAE/Plug-Ins/sforzando RTAS_x86.dpm
./Program Files (x86)/Common Files/VST2/Plogue Art et Technologie, Inc/sforzando VST_x86.dll
./Program Files/VstPlugins/sforzando VST_x64.dll
./Program Files/VstPlugins/sforzando VST_x64.so
./Program Files/Plogue/sforzando
./Program Files/Plogue/sforzando/AAX/sforzando.aaxplugin
./Program Files/Plogue/sforzando/AAX/sforzando.aaxplugin/Contents/x64/sforzando.aaxplugin
./Program Files/Plogue/sforzando/sforzando x64.exe
./Program Files/Plogue/sforzando/VST/sforzando VST_x64.dll
./Program Files/Plogue/sforzando/VST/sforzando VST_x86.so

./Program Files/Common Files/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins/sforzando.aaxplugin
./Program Files/Common Files/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins/sforzando.aaxplugin/Contents/x64/sforzando.aaxplugin

And I appear to have installer an here:

./bb/Data/Installers/sforzando_v1.933.exe

For the Hi-Q instruments, they have their own installer and you can try re-running it. You can check the directory Gordon mentioned or you can re-download it.


For Plogue, that gets installed when a specific checkbox is selected in the main Band-in-a-Box and RealBand program installer.

Thanks!
The reset using MOST seems to have done the trick.
I also did the reinstall for Sforzando
Much obliged.

Hmmm... opened BIAB again today and it's happening again where is says it's missing files.

Any other ideas besides the two suggestions above?

Thanks!

Could you provide a little more information? What are the names of the files that it advises are missing?
Do you have an external drive that contains any part of the BiaB program suite?

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

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!

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.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

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."
