Did it !!
The culprit was indeed another dll file lurking within my Steinberg folder.
Thanks for all your patience and help, Scott… now for hours of fun !!

[Sound of the suburbs]

thanks, Scott… i’ll give it a whirl later on and let you know 😉

still no luck, i’m afraid… yet again the stand-alone version appears to be the full one yet when I open EZdrummer in my DAW it’s just the light version.
I’ve deleted the DLL file, used the download from the My Products page, I’ve ran the microsoft patch that purports to fix things, I’ve unpacked zip files that take all afternoon.
All of these things (at least) twice.
I’m getting to the stage where I’m convinced I won’t buy anything else Toontrack and I’m ready to cut my losses, sell the software and move on.

I’m prepared for one last attempt.
I have my store bought EZDrummer, my downloaded version from My Products and I have updates (Win130, Cocktail Up and Toontrack solo).
Is it possible to outline the process step-for-step so that I can finally use what I paid for ?

Sorry if the tone of this message is a tad grumpy… that’s how I’m feeling.

[Sound of the suburbs]

thanks (again), Scott… big time.
…. and with the other updates I presume I just open em up and they’ll find their own way, yeah ?

[Sound of the suburbs]

erm…this downloaded zip archive…. this would be from My Products and then the Red button, I assume ?
I know I’m a bit of a pain but I just don’t wanna clutter my pc with 1001 attempts
Thanx !

maybe i need to read this  😉

If you are getting an error message containing ‘Error 1309’, this is most likely because you are attempting to run the installer without extracting the downloaded zip archive. Please right click the downloaded zip file and choose ‘Extract all’. We strongly recommend using Windows’ built in extraction tool for this. Please remember to check for updates once you have run the main installer.

I should also add that I do not have to authorize every time… only once,the very first time.

sorry bout the delay, been a tad busy !
so…uninstalled ALL ezdrummer progs and the dll before trying a fresh install.
It still installs as a lite version…the stand alone player has more to it but if I want to use ezd as a vst it’s lite.
When installing, I get 2 pop-ups towards the end (should’ve written down what it said, eh) of the process with the options Abort, Retry or Ignore. Retry does nothing so I click Ignore and the installation finishes.

Any help would be massively appreciated at this point… I love the prog but it’s getting to be not worth the hassle !

Thanks, Scott… there is, possibly, one slight hiccup on the horizon… the pc I use EZ on isn’t online,I’m on my laptop right now but I’ll give it a whirl anyway and report back later.
Cheers !

Hey 😉

no, I didn’t do that and I must admit I was looking at it at one point thinking “surely I ought to be replacing that”….
so, what should I do now… uninstall the whole shebang, remove the dll and then reinstall EZ full ?

Thanks fr yr hellup !!
