Questions about sound file download process (Windows)

Postby gfinney56 » Sun Jun 22, 2025 5:11 pm

I'm trying to install a SampleTank sound file product on a new system. From what I can tell it goes something like this:

IK --> Internet --> .zip file on my Win system --> unzipped to destination folder

Because these things are gigantic, I've set up SampleTank to look for the sound files on a separate drive. That seems to be where the individual .pak files are eventually placed.

The .zip file download, however, seems to go somewhere on my C: drive that I can't control. That causes some trouble because it's a directory that OneDrive watches and uploads automatically. The OneDrive cloud, though, doesn't have anywhere near enough space for theses multi-gigabyte files. So the installation never finishes. (FYI, the original system didn't use OneDrive so the installation there went fine.)

1) Is there a way I can control where the .pak files are stored by the product mgr?

2) If the process hangs and I kill the prod mgr, when it's restarted it seems to march through all the previously downloaded .zip files before getting to the newest ones. Is there a way to ignore the .zip files which have already been unzipped to the desired destination? Or could I just delete them before restarting the process?

Thanks for any help as I'm kind of stalled on the installation.

You can control where the downloads go (installers) and where the sounds go when installed, in the IK Product Manager settings.
