I am on windows and just installed VST3 so I wasn’t asked for any install paths. Thanks.

*Windows: C:\Documents\Xfer\ Serum Presets\
Thanks Simon. Unfortunately that folder does not satisfy the plug-in. Also, from the file dates I am pretty sure that is the old Serum 1 presets folder.
I have done a search of my c:\ drive for preset folders and can find nothing. It’s as if the installer omitted to install a preset folder.
An uninstall and reinstall didn’t help. Very strange.
I can’t be the only person to have this problem?

You have probably downloaded the Update installer (for updating serum2 demo->main) not the full installer. You'll need to download the full installer. If your installer is about 30mb, you got the wrong one. It's about 1.3GB. Run that and it'll do the thing :)

Now that sounds like the answer. I did wonder why it installed so quickly!
Thanks.

Serum 2 is dope, just sayin'... !

Sounds great, and the gui is appealing. Big question now is: Is Serum 2 a Vital killer?
