I am trying to install State of the Art SDX on a Mac OS 15.3 . I have 360 GB available on the HD. The path to the Library/Applications Support/Superior Drummer looks correct. The Installer says there is only 36GB available which is not enough space. I checked again…the HD has 360 GB available. I restarted the puter and tried the install several times. The Installer errantly thinks there is not enough space.
That path doesn’t look right. It should be something like Library/Application Support/Toontrack/Superior Drummer.

The path is correct. There is often some hidden system data which will often not be picked up by the Finder. This could be even more prevalent with Sequioa.
You should consider purchasing an external SSD and storing your Superior Drummer libraries on it.

The path is right? Then why does my system have it as I posted? I let the Product Manager put things where it wanted except for the samples which are on an SSD.

Does it really matter Jack? The problem is a space issue anyways. Let’s not convolute the issue.

To me it does matter as I’ve seen (and experienced) some strange things with paths that are not the usual path. I remember back some decades when OSX became not ‘world writable’ in certain system locations.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of space available that the Finder is reporting, especially in the Application Support folder. It’s like arguing about the how many chairs were out on the deck of the Titanic after it hit the iceberg. it is only confusing the issue at hand.
The OP should probably run disk utility to see if possibly the B-tree or the directory tables are possibly pooched.
Not to mention that it’s still stands at the user should install the drum libraries on an external drive,

Ideas?

I’ll put my rubber boots on and step in to ask…. are you running the installer from Toontrack Product Manager? (please say yes)….
have you recently deleted some large files? and have you emptied the “trash”? If you haven’t recently… please do.
Then stop/start Toontrack Product Manager and see if the problem is resolved.

Emptying the trash resolved the problem. Thanks to you both for responding to my question.m I appreciate it very much.
Now a question about your recommendation to move the library to SSD external hard drive. I haven’t done that previously and am concerned that SD won’t be able to find the libraries. How do you direct SD to the hard drive storage?
Another question, please. Should I delete my SD2 application and libraries? I plan to use SD3 from now on but currently have SD2 also. Should I keep SD2?
No problem. As for the external drive type, you can get any USB-C type SSD since the drums are loaded into RAM. You will still get a good data transfer rate resulting in a fairly quick load time.
You could keep the application itself installed so you can go back to earlier session that use SD2.

I don’t believe Superior Drummer 2 had a timeline. In that case, you could probably switch your old projects over to Superior Drummer 3 and get rid of Superior Drummer 2 itself, if you want. You might even find new life in your old projects if you decide not to use the NY Avatar library.
