Hello all,
I’ve been trying to install the Latin Percussion module but whenever I do, I get an error like the following:
It’s not always the same file that it gets stuck on. I’m using Windows 7 64-bit. I have EZ Drummer, Americana, and Cocktail all properly installed and working. However, all of these were installed from a DVD, whereas Latin Percussion was downloaded from the Toontrack website. I tried deleting the “EZX_Percussion” folder and and re-extracting the zip file. I also went to the properties for the “EZDrummer” folder and noticed that “Read Only” was checked. I unchecked it and installed as admin, but got the same error. Here is what’s in the log file:

I’ve also tried installing without admin privledges to no avail. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I’m not a programmer, but your log file looks like it’s updating rather that installing. I may have it round my neck, however, and log file messages like this are normal during installation.
I did initially think that you were trying to use the LP updater file instead of the actual installer first (as did John). Can you tell me how big the installer file is please? -that should settle whether you have the right file or not -the LP EZX installer is about 560MB.
It is always a good idea to make sure your EZDrummer plugin is fully up-to-date before installing EZX libraries as some of the later EZXs require recent EZD versions to function correctly. And as you hinted at above, make sure you fully extract the installer before running it, ie don’t run it directly from the zip.
Edit: I did think possible a permissions issue, but if you’ve tried to install as admin then I suppose not.
Actually, I cant see any LP updates, which is odd. I can’t update my DVD version if I reinstalled, I guess; I’ll have to download the newer full install. I do have two updaters in my archive, including the 1.2.1 version I think is current. I’m supposing TT have updated the install files, although it would be misleading to any people installing the LP EZX from DVD that there were no later versions. Over to you TT…

Hello, and thanks for your assistance. The installer executable is only a few MB:
However, the install folder is about 700MB:
As you mentioned, I don’t see any EZX updates, be they LP-specific or general purpose. I may try a thorough uninstall of all EZDrummer items, including registry entries; but if there are any alternatives, I’d rather go that way.
edit: also, this is on a solid state drive, but I don’t think that should make too much of a difference – especially as the other EZDrummer stuff is on the same drive. The only thing different about the Latin Percussion module is that it came from a download, whereas EZDrummer and Americana were from install disks.
