EZDrummer 2 Still Won't Work with Sonar - Resolved?

Months ago, I had completely uninstalled EZDrummer and then reinstalled only EZDrummer 1 because EZDrummer 2 screwed up all my projects.  I understood from posts here and announcements on the Toontrack site that the problems were resolved.
 
I just installed the latest version of EZD2 and applied the most recent updates.  When I opened an existing project, inputs and outputs for all the tracks—not just drums—were all screwed up.  I had to re-establish all the Ins and Outs and every track for both MIDI and audio, which meant splitting all the simple instrument tracks.
 
Luckily, I created a restore point on my PC, so EZD2 is about to go away forever (hopefully).  I will use EZD1 when I need it but I will not continue with Toontrack products and I will never upgrade again.  If I need more drums, I will buy another product.
 
By the way, my project may be corrupted even if I restore my PC—and I hope the restore works.
 
This is quite unbelievable.

Hmm, Dave.  That's good to know.  I actually just restored my system, but I can reinstall EZ2.  The thing is, the second I open an existing project, my Ins/Outs are hosed, so are you saying this is only for new projects?  Or will setting this option fix all the broken Ins/Outs? Or, do I need to set the option and manually fix the Ins/Outs?  Sorry, just want to understand—but this is excellent information.  Thanks.
 
PS I don't really need the new EZD2 features that much (although they are nice) but I do like the extra drum kits, handclaps, and tamb.

Sorry, Konrad, I read your post on my phone but have only just returned home so that I can post, and Dave has already answered your query.
 
If I open up a project that used EZd1 (or a legacy project in Dave speak), I click on "Menu/Sonar Options" and choose "Show number of outputs on startup", then close the project.  When you then re-open the project, choose "8 Outputs", and all is well.
 
I don't have EXd do this all the time, only when I open a project that I started with EZd1.
 
HTH

How about drum maps for EZd2... I'm totally lost when it comes to that.

I wish drum maps could be built with a spreadsheet or something else that would speed up the process. The only way I know to do it now is in the Drum Map Manager and it's kind of tedious. I don't use drum maps so I haven't had the motivation to create any since the first year EZDrummer came out.

Also try to avoid simple instrument tracks. You really will find life much easier without them. 

EDIT: I cannot find this option in either stand-alone or when opening the VST within Sonar.  I have looked through all the options I can find.
 
A previous post said the Sonar setting was under Sound Engine.  I do not see that.
 
NOTE:  I downloaded the most recent version of EZDrummer 2 and downloaded and installed all the updates.
 

Gotcha John.  Just didn't know how this related to EZD; but I understand about splitting the MIDI and Audio.  I do that often and put all the MIDI in a folder; but sometimes I get lazy on simple sounds.   I think you are correct, tho, that splitting is best.

Konrad I hope this is not OT but you are becoming one of my favorite posters. You have a nice manner. It will pay off in the end. 
 
I don't use EZdrummer I am a BFD3 user and so I don't know anything about it. But I wish you well.  

Konrad,

I replied to your PM but I will post some screen shots this evening to show you where the Sonar option is.

First of all, thanks very much.  Secondly, I went to the website and downloaded the latest version and the updates and applied them.  That is very weird.  I will back to Toontrack and see if I can figure it out.
 
Thanks again for taking the time to do this!
 
EDIT: On the Toontrack site, Version 2.0.2 is the most recent version I see.

There is also an updates tab on the EZdrummer page. You should see an update there. Have you dragged the EZdrummer DLL manually to different location than where it was installed? If this is the case, it could be possible that the updated program is placing the update where it expects EZdrummer to reside.

I have a suspicion that your problems may be self inflicted.

John, Everyone has tried to help.  I'm not frustrated--just trying to understand what the thought is.  Thanks.

jb101, I cannot find this option anywhere.  Something is wrong.  I guess I will open a ticket with Toontrack.  They have never responded before, but maybe they will now. :-)
 
Thanks.

Thanks, yes.  I installed that update.  Something obviously went wrong somewhere.
 
I hve done this install and update twice, restoring my PC after it failed.  I will try a third time.
 
Thanks for the screenshot, though,
