Missing EZX pop/rock from EZdrummer (1) when install EZdrummer 2

[Stefan Andersson]

I own the original EZDrummer and now bought  EZDrummer 2.
The  original EZdrummer comes with EZX Cocktail and EZX Pop/Rock.

I install EZ drummer 2 on my desktop computer where I already have the original EZ drummer.
In my DAW (Reaper) the new GUI doesnt appear.
I learned that if I change the name of the EZdrummer.dll in the  32-bit directory the Reaper reads the two .dll,s (32 and 64 bit)
and now everything works alright.

Now I install EZdrummer my laptop computer for the first time. I never installed the original EZ drummer here.
Toontrack  Product Manager say I shouldnt Install EZdrummer, Only install EZdrummer 2.
So wanting to do it the right way I Install only EZdrummer 2.
But now there is no EZX Pop/Rock!!!
And it is no longer possible to install the original EZdrummer (greyed out)

What do I do to get my EZX Pop/Rock back?

You should first uninstall EZD2 on your laptop. Then install EZD1 that is the pop/rock kit. Then install EZD2 again

Hello Scott.  Thank you for fast reply.

so..

1)Should I unauthorize first and then uninstall? Or the other way around?  Or dont I unauthorize at all?

2) Installing EZD1 first and then EZD2 will make problems with the GUI  in my DAW. (Reaper) . Changing name in the dll as I wrote previasly will fix most of it but..
Is this the solution you say?   (My EZd2 is not an upgrade)

 

Your Answer to another person with similar problem:

—

The auto register of the Pop/Rock EZX was designed for a user that has EZD1 registered to their account, and the purchase the EZD1 to EZD2 upgrade. If you purchase the Regular EZD2, the system won’t automatically register it.

I’ve registered a Pop/Rock EZX to your account. You should be all set.

1. You don’t have to unauthorize EZD2 first. Just uninstall.

2. The EZD2 .dll should install directly over the EZD1 .dll and nothing else should need be done. IF the EZD1 .dll was manually moved at some point so your DAW can locate it, then yes, you will of course have issues.

The way to prevent that in the first place is to install EZD1, then the EZD1 update that has the 64-bit version (I assume you use a 64-bit DAW) . Make note of the install location and set that path in Reaper.

Then, when you install EZD2, it should overwrite the EZD1 .dll.

As for my quoted reply; you would need to have the EZD2 upgrade (not the EZD2 Regular like you have) registered for the system to auto register the Pop/Rock EZX. The EZD2 Upgrade is long since discontinued so the above install method (install EZD1 then EZD2 over the top) is the only method available.
