Curious.  It seems have downloaded OK to my "Download to" drive: 

Does the new revision really need that much space (3,496,584 KB) to install and run? 

Anyone know?

UPDATE:  It looks like even though the program and plug-ins don't take up much space, the installer has a lot of resources:

Maybe the installer runs in it's own OS and comes packaged wiht an emulator to run in windows?  :lol: 

 

Or it's like so many driver installers...it includes *all* of the software for *all* of hte things the company makes, but only installs the bits you actually have stuff to update, or have a serial number for, etc....

Hmmmm. This might help explain the lack of space message.  While it looks like the compressed file downloaded properly to the correct storage location, perhaps the IK Product Manager needs to unpack that to my C:\ drive before running the installer.  I can test that tomorrow by unzipping it on E:\ and then running the installer from there (Or I should say, trying to run it from there).

As far as I know IK Products install all plug-ins contained in the product. But maybe if I can unzip it all on drive E:\ the standalone and plug-ins can be put on C:\ and reference resources on Drive E:\ . 

In any case, thanks for the comment as it led me to a possible solution.

changed "possible solution" to just "solution" since so far it seems to have worked!

[User 905133]

• Unzipped to Drive E:
• Installer (Application above) can install plug-ins and standalone to  C :
• Not sure what else got installed, though clearly lots of stuff is in those bin files.
• I ran the Amplitube 5 VST3 within Voltage Modular.
  • MSoundFactory [Xcitenator --> Amplitube 5]
  • Seems to work so far.
  •  using Amplitube 5 MAX [not V.2]

Someitmes programs like 7zip can extract .bin files into individual files, and though they wouldn't be useful for installing they might show you what's in there.   Most often they won't extract because it's encoded or passworded such that only the setup/installer program can decode it, but when they do it sometimes helps my curiosity in cases like this.

OH, also, you can use "file logger" programs (i forget what I used last time) that track changes in a folder, so you can point them at the temp folder(s) used for installers like this, and log all the files created out of the .bin extractions during setup (which may go away too fast for you to see if you're trying to manually monitor all the folders these tend to create inside the temp folder).
