How to Keep Sound Libraries Off System Drive

[FCostaguta]

Hi,

I'm having issues with installing SampleTank 4. I set the download drive to a separate HDD and the Product Manager appears to install to this loaction correctly, but on installing the sound libraries it duplicates these files to SYSTEM/ Users/ Public/ Public Documents/ ... SampleTank 4

Would love to know how to stop this, thanks!!

There are two settings, the one that you seem to have set up where the downloads are sent to an external drive. But there's another option that lets you choose a path for sound library file installation. This is from the IK Product Manager User Manual:

7.3 – More Options menu
The three-dot icon button positioned next to each Sound product opens a little menu which includes two buttons:
• Install to...
• Reinstall library

7.3.1 – “Install To...” button
Click on the “Install to...” button to open an OS dialog and select a different installation path for your Sound product.
Your Sound library will be installed into the new directory. Once process is completed, a pop-up notification will inform you with a confirmation message.

Hi again,

Sorry - is the product manager supposed to launch an install after selecting "Install to" and designating a folder? It doesn't do anything after, and if I click "re-install" after designating a drive I get the same problem. Is there a means of refreshing the app as far as what is installed or not? I have deleted all sound libraries (doing some disk management) but the app seems to think the sounds are already installed - could this be preventing the install launch through the instruction you gave me?

Thanks again

Update..

I managed to download the sound library zip files off the website instead. I loaded everything for the Miroslav Philharmonik, ran as administrator to avoid other known issues.. and then opened the Miroslav stand-alone to test the method works, but no instruments appear. The file path looks to be right, going to the Miroslav folder..

Would really appreciate any more insight on how I can get this thing installed correctly, I'm four days in on installing this and feeling really frustrated.

Thanks!

You shouldn't have to do that. I'm not sure what is causing the issues you are having but the best way to get proper assistance would be through the IK Support team via http://www.ikmultimedia.com/contact-support and they can troubleshoot with you directly.
