Ah, John, the problem with this uninstaller is it’s unreliable: it doesn’t actually know what’s been installed, and it’s missing Toontrack Solo, Superior Drummer and Ezkeys among others! Look at that blue line below: it won’t even tell us what it was that it wasn’t able to find! That’s why I cleaned up the place by hand before installing EZkeys… file://16309/82461C1B8DDA411A860AADAA48EC1F39.gif

Thanks for helping me. Searching? This is precisely what I did to locate the remnants of the demo in the first place; but now a search for ‘ezk’ won’t reveal an application which hasn’t been installed… And I should mention there’s no symbolic link to a ‘toontrack’ folder on another drive.

The 12th step here tells me where the standalone was installed, but there’s nothing new there — just Toontrack Solo, plus the sound mover and a Toontrack uninstaller… By the way, with more than 300 GB left on my boot drive, it’s obviously more than enough for accomodating the room needed to copy a mere 13 MB program! And of course, I didn’t move nor rename that folder, which has been sitting there for many years… file://16309/08B4FDB0187F4353BC27DE6E0F0E2973.gif

Here is the 5th snapshot; notice that the EZkeys standalone entry is greyed out, meaning the standalone installation defaults to install: I couldn’t even have unchecked the box to disable it… Also notice that the action column reads ‘upgrade’ but that makes no sense, since it never installed! file://16309/CAD1BDD3C1D94018B809533BC8B39CBB.gif

Yes, John: my signature is up to date… You’re right, both of these packages explicitely state that they’re about to install the standalone version, but they don’t actually install it: I’ve used FSeventer (a program that graphically tracks filesystem changes in real time — what is happening on the hard drives, and where it is happening), so I’m sure the standalone application was never copied onto any of my disks! Moreover I never had any error message at installation time, nor any alert window related to the operating system version; all of my 7 successive install sessions went smoothly, without a hitch (I made abundant screen-captures to be able to check retrospectively that everything went well), and the plug-in itself is performing like it should. And anyway, the software is compatible with OS X 10.5.8 — it’s mentioned somewhere.

The EZkeys operation manual reads, p. 17:

At the time of installation, EZkeys will have installed the standalone version and provide a desktop shortcut…

For some reason, this didn’t happen in my case; so, which file is to be downloaded if I need the standalone EZkey Upright Piano yo be actually installed?

[Jym Feat]

I don’t get it: does the above complaint mean the the EZkey engine can’t cope with odd meters?

[Jym Feat]

is this bug fixed yet?

[Jym Feat]

no, it’s because you’re using the backquote instead of the regular single quote

[Jym Feat]

no dupes here!

[Jym Feat]

yet does A_S4_V_v05 tell us more than that?

[Jym Feat]

yes, originally, but nowadays the most constrained of them all is Logic 8, still limited to a whooping 31-char restriction for region names: yet it would be nice if “A_S4_V_v05” was actually spelled “americana straight 4/4 verse 5″… and that would only be 30 chars!

[Jym Feat]

or just use the internal track name, like XLN does…
