i’ve owned EZD 2 and SD 2 for a number of years. originally i used them on windows and then re-downloaded and re-authorized the plugins on a mac about 2 years ago. when i did that, i somehow pointed the software to use the existing ezx/sdx soundsets / samples i already had copied to a rather non-standard location from a backup to external hard drive vs go through the pain or downloading and reinstall them.
anyway, after taking about a two year hiatus from recording, i’m finally recording again. so i went online, noticed there was an EZD 2 update, downloaded it and it installed fine. EZD and SD both see all my EZX expansion and SDx kits and they play fine regardless if in standalone mode or as a plugin in my daw Studio One Pro 3.5+.
however, there were 3 additional updates – a pop rock midi update, a latin percussion EZX update and one other update related to EZ2 which is just called “update” and i can’t tell anymore what kind of update it is.
none of these install however. i keep getting the “Config File Error could not read config file” message during the installation process. i’m sort of confused why the actual EZD2 update installer worked fine but none of the pack installers do? how do i fix this?
as i stated above, my midi files and EZX/SDXs are all in a non standard location. i’m not sure if this has anything to do with the install problems but EZD/SD all can find these drum kits and midi so the paths must be known to the parent apps (in SD you obviously specify where to look but in EZD i don’t see any configuration).
fwiw, i have not downloaded, installed or used the local product manager since i never needed it before and thought it would force me to download and reinstall everything from scratch which i don’t want to have to do, especially since i went to the problem of manually organizing all the kits the way i wanted so i could back them up and then reuse them easily without internet download / reinstalls every time i want to change my hardware.
thx
