can 2.5 be forced install, an option i saw available after refusing to unistall previous versions, and still have 2.5 and 2.2.2 existing ?


(Have not done so, aborted install before...)

You might be able to go into the VSTPlugins folder, rename the Sampletank.dll to somethingelse.dll, then do the install.

I don't work for IK or ES but I do work in tech support and this is a common trick we use when installing to not worry about overwriting things.

(If it doesn't work, you can either rename it back or uninstall/reinstall the old.)

well I thinks a 2.5 install messes with the effects and layout and such things etc... so maybe not

wish a knowligeable person would clarify the 2.2.2 compatibility issue with older work

Contact IK directly.

done that, just now, but may proceed with a new install of 2.5 on my own before they answer

but i do admit that I missed the first path install page, as I got mine on D: not C: where it went by default

got 2.2.2 working as VST again for all old songs, but not the stand-alone DX

been getting good response from IK support, we are working on it


but installing 2.5, (which in my case gives error messages of "registry error"), then removing it, then re-installing 2.2 (not 2.2.2) fixed it: I have a functional ST2.2

but still no stand alone

anyway guess I will stay there, I already have the full CSR anyway and Cubase4 Groups can do the global mix stuff

dear me

Dont forget to copy all your registration data as you will need to re-enter it later

I uninstalled all Sampletank2.x before but not ST2, meaning 2.2 and 2.2.2 using the Windows Add/Remove app

There is a step here to remove all references in the registry to Sampletank2.x which I did not have to do as there were none found, but this step is best done with the help of the tech support of IK


Then I installed 2.5

Perfect install, no problems.
