Yes, John, that’s right.  On initial install, I chose my network drive to install the sound libraries.  It did so successfully as I tested EZD2 standalone before I tried to update the out-of-the-box sound files or install another EZX.  Then when I updated my sound files through Toontrack Product Manager, it seemed to get upset at me that it didn’t find the sound files to update.  Something like: Sound library error: One or more required files are missing.

After some guessing, I put a copy of the sound files from my network drive back onto my laptop in the default location.  Then when I did the update, the sound file install was successful and I could see some additional files added.   Toontrack PM still didn’t recognize that I installed it, even though I got the confirmation window from the installer.  So I copied the entire updated sound file directory from the laptop back to my network drive and shortly after Toontrack PM indicated that the sound files were updated and installed.  I tested EZD2 and it seemed to work fine.  I deleted my laptop copy of the sound files, and EZD2 still found the sounds fine.  This leads me to believe that EZD2 is indeed looking at my network drive for sound files, as I originally intended.

I did the same method for the two EZXs that I bought.  Took a while, but those also installed on my local drive first, then I migrated them to the network drive.

I take it that I shouldn’t have to do all that.

Thanks.  That helps.  I think the only difference between our two installations was where I put the VST.  However, I don’t see how that is preventing me from updating to 2.2.2.  I still get a ‘EZDrummer 2 was not detected on your system’ error.  I’ve opened a help desk ticked with Toontrack to get assistance.

As for the sound files, since my last post, I was able to update my sound files in a more round-about way.  Apparently, when I install an update or even an EZX sound library, it wants to install in the default C:\Program Files\Common Files\Toontrack\EZDrummer folder.  I let it install there, and then I manually copy the files onto my network drive.  Once I copy it there, the Toontrack Program Manager recognizes it as being installed.  It’s a pain but it works.  It sounds like you were you able to point the installer to your D-drive instead of the default path.  How did you do that?  And is your D-drive an external drive or just a partition of your internal drive?

Hey TBM, glad you figured it out.  I am not so lucky.  I think you may be configuring your install the same as me.  On initial install, I chose to install the VST and the sound library on an external drive (network drive), but installed the standalone on my laptop hard drive.  Is that similar to what you did?

After initial install, everything seems to work fine, both stand alone and VST.  I assume the sound library is being read off my network drive but not sure how to check that.

I have seen that there are two updates available to me: EZD v2.2.2 and a sound library v1.1.2.  Have you been able to install either of these?  I get errors, which I think stem from where I installed the sound library.
