Miroslav: Not finding samples after installing

[randyfreemire]

Running Windows 10 on an i7 laptop.

Just downloaded the Miroslav Philharmonic 2 CE (MP2CE). I used the wizard to install the program and all its samples. I copied down the address where it downloaded the samples:
C:\Users\Documents\IK Multimedia\Sampletank 3

Then in the MP2CE Preferences I pointed the browser towards that address. But I see no instruments showing up on the main instrument page. The address was close, but there were different names that came up. The closest address I found was:
C:/Users/Amit[this is the name for the computer user]/Documents/IK Multimedia/Sample Tank 3

I notice that the installer said it was installed at a backward slash, \, and not a /address. It's been years since I've used a windows computer (Vista), and I'm not fully up to speed, but I've been methodical in having the wizard install the app and samples, and pointing the disk path to the above, so I don't know what's going on.


Also, why is the program so small with no option with the box resizing option in the upper rt corner greyed out? It's 1/4 the size of my screen and way to small to work with.

Thanks,
Randy

I copied down the address where it downloaded the samples:
C:\Users\Documents\IK Multimedia\Sampletank 3

Do you mean downloaded or installed? If this is where the installer has placed the content, then within the SampleTank 3 folder in Explorer you will see folders for Instruments, Samples etc amongst others. If you cannot see these folders then it has not been installed here.

I'm not a Windows user so I do not know the default location for this installation. Maybe someone will chime in who does. If not, I would suggest opening a ticket with IK official support here https://www.ikmultimedia.com/contact-support/mi/

Some of the IK apps are still to be updated to have a re-sizeable GUI (Syntronik and T-RackS have been for example) so it's hopefully in the pipeline.

Hope that helps.
