I have just bought a new Mac M1 and had to reinstall all my Toontrack software. Everything was working great.
I just purchased a new expansion pack however why I tried to install it via the product manager I only get the message:
“the path to the default download location could not be determined”
I tried deleting and reinstalling but no luck – how do I resolve this problem?
Hi,
That’s a strange error to get. Could you please open Applications > Utilities > Terminal and paste the following (harmless) command/line there:
ls -leOd ~ ~/Downloads ~/Desktop
…and press Enter. Then copy all text from the window and paste it in your reply, please. Maybe that can give some clue.

Okay, so it has to do with the fact that your Desktop is a symbolic link to Dropbox/Mac/Desktop and Downloads is a symbolic link to Dropbox/Mac/Downloads. How did it become so and do those folders exist?

Ok! all fixed now. It seems dropbox automatic backups had relocated the downloads folder for Toontrack. I stopped synchronization of dropbox and the product manager opened and allowed me to reset the location.
Thanks for the help!
