    Hello, I am having the EXACT same issue. have downloaded the .zip file, and all the .cab files are in that same folder. Every-time I run the Library installer, it asks me to locate the package info file, and says to make sure the .cabs are in the same folder(which they are), but when I locate the package info file, the installer stars to run ( White rectangle box appears on screen) and then the wheel of death (on my mac) shows up! please help me ASAP! wish you had phone support, much faster and efficient!

    welcome EWITHAP, which OS are you running?

    if OS X did you already repair your permissions and have double checked you don't have blocked local calls by a firewall?

    in your process list does actually the synsopos and the vsldaemon appear?

    Thanks for the quick response, all I had to do was actually restart my computer in order for the installer to recognize the newly downloaded activation license for the horns library. everything is working fine now! thanks!

    welcome david (btw: we just merged your accounts so you might need to reset your password),

    could you please detail what *it* is which hangs - the license download finished as far as i can see (using an older license control center it appears).

    maybe also try to reboot especially if you downloaded the license on another computer and had a vsldaemon running on your music computer.

    hth, christian

    How's that a DVD issue?

    The guy copied the contents to his hard drive and the installer still crashed!

    Hi 

    I'm having a very similar issue.

    Vienna Instruments Library Installer crashes every time I choose the package.info file.

    • (Vienna standalone runs with full UI, no presets or sounds)
    • (Vienna Directory Manager runs no directories)

    I've tried to install the libraries with:

    • the physical VSL SE DVD
    • a .dmg disk image of that DVD
    • a copy of the files in a regular folder.

    System info:

    Mac Pro 2010 16GB RAM

    OS X 10.7

    Vienna Instruments v4.1.8008

    Vienna Ensemble v4.1.8008

    sLicenser v 6.3.1.1066

    Hi,

    an update that includes a Library Installer bug fix for OS X 10.7 is in the works.

    As a workaround, you can install the sample content on a different computer (with an earlier OS) and copy the sample content to your Lion computer.

    Then assign the sample content in the Directory Manager.

    Best,

    Paul

    Hey, I just bought this today...in an emergency for a project and now I can't install with OSX 10.7 Lion. Not cool. If I put up $500 I expect at least phone help to work around the install. I don't have another Mac computer on hand. Please help. Vienna Instrument Installer crashes every time I direct to package.info. Will
