    I just added a second raid0 to my PC and I'm in the process of moving the Orch Strs I and II plus the solo strings over to these larger drives so I can have all of the VI on one drive. Questions:

    1) When I was originally installing the libraries I was going to use the new library installer but as soon as the DVD went in it automatically opened a loader window which I used. Was this loader program on the DVD and therefore an old version or was it initiating the newer program on my computer? Should I first launch the VI library installer before inserting the DVD?

    2) The software version that I'm using is 1.01 I do not see a 1.03 on the website. I saw a thread about this and so I double checked and this time the website said I have no software updates for my registered software?

    3) When I finish moving the files over to my new HDs (by just coping them over in windows explorer) do I just open the VI software and close it again or is there a proceedure I need to follow to tell VI were the files have moved to?

    Thanks for the help.

    Hello Eric,

    here some answers:

    1) the Library installer for PC was working fine and you did the right thing. You only need the new Library installer on the Mac

    2) that´s strange, I´m sure we can fix that. Please write a mail to support@vsl.co.at, Christian Marin will take care of it.

    3) Please use the Directory Manager to point at the new location of your folders.

    eric, the version 1.01 was OSX PPC, although you should only see 1.03 since several days. please hit the *refresh* symbol of your browser (possibly two or three times) to make sure you don't see cached information.
    the download page provides http-headers to make sure no browser or proxy delivers cached content, but a few transparent caches seem to ignore them.

    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.

    Thanks guys, that worked.
    Now do I unistall 1.01 then install 1.03 or do I just run 1.03?

    Hi Eric,

    the safest way is to uninstall v1.01 first, then install v1.03.

    Overwriting an "old" VI version always worked for me, but just to avoid any troubles,...
