Kudos Pacman,
I would have really been po'd if not for your suggestion. I myself would have never thought of this.
A couple of screens popped up asking for certain folders, (and you must be exact or the install will not work) but this is probably due to the fact that not all installs are exactly the same. So with a little trail and error I'm up and running.
For me, EP is at the center of my midi operation, (and I don't think I'm alone) so when it comes up short, it kills the creative process. Mozart didn't have this problem but I do. So I really hope VSL recognizes this. I know they can't solve all problems but I don't think they really looked into this one because their EP/Waves customers are just too few. And you've got masterpieces to create so you can't monitor your mailbox everyday!
So again, much thanks,
mike
