IK Manager wont download nothing

Postby RobertCMontgomery » Wed Nov 15, 2023 1:26 pm

Tech supt linked me a way to get some of the files, but, sample tank 4 isnt there, so, the only way i see is to use the IK manager, its not doing anything, for 3 days now, it wont download squat, it just sits there saying, downloading, but nothing happens.

Can't use any of the tools with out it, lol.



Dell XPS windows PC, never had any issues anywhere with this pc until this manager thing.
For me, its 100% useless, its doing nothing.

Thanks, yea, they had me make a video, but it just is a video of me clking download and nothing happening, haha... pretty easy to explain, but they have me doing all kinds of things that are not working.

Please make sure the download path/directory set in the Settings of IK Product Manager is writeable and has all proper permissions. That may be the issue.

Exit out and right-click the IK Multimedia icon and click "run as an administrator." I was experienceing the same problem where I would click "install" and nothing would pop up, not even a percentage.

I had the same issue. I solved it by unchecking Auto Authorization AND moving the installation folder to NOT be the two Program Files folders. For some reason, when trying to download something to the Program Files or Program Files (x86) folders in windows 11, you need to give it permission. There must be some protection scheme or something for those folders. Doesn't come up if you make a folder outside of windows or the program files folders. Once the IK Manager can start by using a non-protected folder, it can then install to the windows or program files folders.

Yes, that is Windows doing that access protection.

The IKPM downloads files into a selected folder, and as you said, that folder should NOT be within /Program Files or /Program Files (x86) (or /Windows). Similarly, the destination folder for installing the sounds libraries should NOT be within those folders.

Try right clicking on the IK manager icon and running as administrator. That worked for me.
