    Paul, 

    I did all that. The software is build 8008. Plus I erased and added the folders again.

    Hi mahag, 

    Please send me some screenshots of your eLCC, your sample content in Finder, your Directory Manager and your Vienna Instruments interface, so that I can see what you see. 

    Please send to

    Thanks for your efforts!

    Did you repair permissions after the install?

    I am having exactly the same problem. Downloaded newest versions of software (VI Pro, eLicense, downloadmanager), repaired permissions after install, run the directory manager (which appears to being doing nothing). I am on OS X 10.6.8.

    Hi mahag,

     

    I may jump in for Paul here...

     

    Thank you for the screenshots!

     

    VSL5.tiff tells me, that you have in fact not yet installed Overdrive - the CAB files are only the downloadable archives, not the installed collection.

     

    Please launch the Library Installer from /Applications/Vienna Instruments Pro/ and point it to the package.info files you have in the OD VSL folder on  2nd HD - you will have to install both Standard and Extended Content one at a time, but please install them to the same location.

     

    renske_6234: Please launch Directory Manager, remove all eventual entries and reassign your Sample Data folder(s) directly from the Finder/Explorer by Drag & Drop(!) - does that make a difference?

     

    Best, Marnix

    OK. VSL figured it out. Turns out the instrument wasn't actually installed. I think I got thrown off by the fact that it was a downloadable instrument.

    I have two instances of the directory manager. The old one, that came with the original Vienna instruments software works. The other one that comes with VI pro doesn't. It is in the VI Pro I want the new instrument to open. I am half way, so to say.

    I am afraid your suggestion didn't work for VI Pro.

    Hi renske,

    Please update your eLCC and all your VSL Software, then restart your computer. We have improved our copy protection to give you faster load times, the re-start will make sure that there are no processes running in the background.

    Best,

    Hi Paul,

    I had already done that. I found the cause and solved it: I restored permissions from my admin account. Instruments now show up as expected.

    Thank you.
