kitekrazy Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I'd rather spend my money on Arturia. Better support and not a lot of hassles going to my products. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'delete the temp folder' is much worse - can break stuff - even breaks it's own downloader routine Yes but "deleting folders" could be virus like behaviour - probably a setting in Kaspersky depending on the level of paranoia you want to set. That's presumably why the downloader just dumps you in your ZIP manager. Honestly, do they test any of this stuff? 😟 Edited April 16, 2020 by ZincT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that I tend to empty the Recycle Bin if I notice it has anything in it - which is what I did Any ideas what was in there before it was deleted? Mine has around 20 items in it now, some folders and all of it dated today. With it being a "Temp" folder I am hoping that there's nothing of too much value there (apart from maybe breaking something).

Mine has around 20 items in it now, some folders and all of it dated today. With it being a "Temp" folder I am hoping that there's nothing of too much value there (apart from maybe breaking something). hopefully nothing important but some software requires it to be there (including the Korg software!) - things like the ilok manager - I normally empty the recycle bin all the time (OCD!) make sure you have a temp folder there and all will be good - reboot too as some software could have been made a bit upset. Still can't believe how slack that was of Korg - doesn't do it first time you start it up but does it after that ......Think it's trying to clean up after itself if it's any consolation I've been having a 'mare. Today has been computer housekeeping day - backups etc - spotted that windows defender had crashed, wouldn't restart, made me very nervous. Rebooted and had a GPT bootsector error, something corrupted (USB backup disk was still plugged in and it tried to boot off it) - windows defender crashed again - then folders started disappearing........Was sure I had a 'virtual' virus (still better than having a real one) Think I've got to the bottom off all the issues now - just in time for wine-o-clock Edited April 16, 2020 by simon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just notice this happened too. I disagree, it's Korg's problem since no other installation ever did this. It will eventually fix itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 They sent a message that they’re working on the installer. Give ‘em a few days. Hey, we’ve waited years, so why not. And it’s free. The update, that is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 The new installer 1.0.0.29 is now available... https://id.korg.com/static_pages/3 It now gives the options to try demos of most of the collection (but not Odessy). @simon it still dumps that folder in your recycle bin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait for the fix I think - let's be honest it's taken years and years to get these plugs updated, they probably won't change again until 2029 (seriously - does look like they are giving some love to these at the moment - let's hope it continues) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAGinz Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Will this free update work if I only have one of the items in the Collection? In my case it’s the M-1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only own the Wavestation, and after help from ZincT, (see first page of thread) it updated without any problem. I love being able to resize the GUI! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Here's the blurb: "Users who already have the plugins from the KORG Collection series can update to version 2 for free. Update now to try the evolved KORG Collection 2. To get the KORG Collection 2 series, Login to KORG ID and download them or Install KORG Software Pass and activate your account in the app." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSteven Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 The Korg Software Pass dumped my installers in my temp folder, not my recycle bin. You can get there easily but opening Windows File Explorer (hot key Win + E) and entering %TEMP% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAGinz Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Unfortunately, it didn’t find my original installation when new installer run. I pushed past error notice and now I’ve lost old installation and only have Demo of new version. Grrrr..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I restored it this time although so far I haven't found any issues caused by this but still it's not the kind of behaviour that you want an app to display.

Fleer Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Simply download your installers from your Korg account. Much easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
