Can't find Addictive Drums ??

Hi, 
Just got my boxed set, X3 upgrade, loaded it up all seemed well, but I can't find Addictive Drums
the strange thing is, I downloaded it from the website, but it's  standalone, it's not showing as a soft synth
where have I went wrong ??
 
Thanks
John

    I think there is a way, if you aren't watching, to install AD standalone only from XLN's stupid online installer. Either that or it put the plug-in dll somewhere other than your normal VST folder. I'm pretty sure the only remedy is to run said stupid installer again.

    Preferences>File (VST Settings)>under "VST scan folders" hit "Add" and add the location where your Addictive Drums was saved (.dll file) than hit "scan vst folders"

    I got X3 via DVDs hoping to avoid such difficulties.  No way!  Having spent about an hour in a recursive programme loop of frustration and despair I unfortunately had to apply a zero-level interrupt to my brain and force a hard reset - beer works best for me, I find! (Feeling much better now, thanks) 
    For the record, the XLN Installer responds with: "ERROR File download failed! Please check your internet connection and try temporaily disabling firewall or anti-virus apps...Cotton XLN Online Installer/1001/InstallData_app_ad/FactoryPresets/AD/PopRock/MediumSmack n Pop.ADPreset".  Obviously this message would be unintelligible to the layman, but luckily I have worked with IT professionals over many years, so I can interpret.  Translated, it means: "Go away, you are an idiot and we don't want your business.  We have expensive toys to play with, leave us alone".  No problem.  XLN won't be getting any more business of mine!
