Hi!

I just downloaded a Toontrack product for the very first time. I then also downloaded the product manager but I always fail to install the product. When I’m trying to install the product it says that I need a software update for toontrack. But I just downloaded the newest version of the toontrack manager! What can I do?

Yes, I’ve already tried to uninstall and reinstall the manager.

 

Thanks!

Hi,

I’m having the same issue. All updates are completed and EZX2 is saying “up-to-date” and “ready to use” in the TPM.

I get the “you need to update your toontrack drum sampler to the latest version before you can install this product” message but EZX2 is all up-to-date. The new expansion pack is downloaded but won’t install.

 

can you help?

regards.

Operating system: macOS Catalina (10.15)

What does EZD2 show in the details in Product Manager? What version is showing as installed?

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the quick reply.

It says 2.1.8 “*partially installed” – AAX not installed.

 

I’ve tried downloading and re-installing twice. Still does the same.

 

thanks

The latest version if EZD2 is 2.2.1 so I’m not sure why Product Manager isn’t showing an update available if you’re running 2.1.8.

Not being a Mac guy, the next step would be to open a support ticket with Toontrack directly via the Contact Support button in the FAQ below. I’m sorry I don’t have a better solution at this point.

i´m experiencing the same issue when installing the library content of my sd3 purchase

Operating system: macOS Big Sur (11)

I have a similar problem here, Win 10 PC, when trying to load a EZ axpansion in my SD3, it says I need to update the EZ Expansion in the toontrack app, but in the app it says its all up to date.

Currently 4 out of 6 are not usable at all.

The SD3 libraries all work as supposed to.

Operating system: Windows 10

In that case, for each of those EZXs, click Show Details in Product Manager, download the full installer for the EZX, uninstall it using the menu to the right, then install it again.

Essentially what’s happening, to anyone who’s confused is Toontrack has gone to such great lengths to deter piracy that they’ve made their entire ecosystem into one big convoluted mess. Whether it’s a lack of information to end users, or complete software incompatibilities between products under the same banner and or versions. Rest assured, the Toontrack Product Manager is an incoherent mess of software that exists solely to make sure you aren’t pirating their software. They could truly care less about whether you just paid them for a product or whatever problems you may be facing due to their lack of competency. For example, I just downloaded a midi pack who’s installer isn’t compatible with Big Sur, I had to manually figure out how to dispatch all the correct files in the right directories to get Superior Drummer to recognize them. But had I not known how to do that (they DON’T offer instructions on how to manually install), I’d be out $23, which is more than likely the case with most people facing similar problems. My recommendation at this point to anyone who either has or hasn’t invested themselves into Toontrack’s ecosystem is to find an alternative to their products and save yourself the money, time, and stress. You can thank me later. To date, superior drummer and all of toontrack’s ecosystem is one of the worst financial decisions I’ve ever made in my life.

I tried that, doesnt work.

Same error message.

I downloaded it, unistalled the version, reinstalled, did the updates as it asked me and back to square one.

Is it because of the updates or whats the problem here?

That’s odd… Uninstall one again, then start SD3 and check if it really is gone from there.

I´ve reinstalled it many times, tried without updating it, with updating it.

Still same problems on all EZ products.

Right now, I cant use any of my EZ libraries anymore.

So what do I have to do to actually get some support?

hello,

just bought EZD2 and DKFH as well as some other stuff

 

I installed the 64 bit version of EZD2, updated it,  and all, then DKFH, etc, but the sound library update is giving me the error “one or more required files are missing” even though eveything seems to be installed properly in the product manager ?

It looks like you somehow had DFH installed from earlier. See this thread for solution: https://www.toontrack.com/forums/topic/update-installation-issues/
