EZDrummer2 64 bit install problem SOLVED

Hello All-
 
I am currently using EZDrummer1 32 bit on my Window 7 box. I just purchased EZDrummer2, and want to use the 64 bit version. The installers come from Toontrack with both a 32 and 64 bit installer. However, when I run the 64 bit installer, a little bit into the install I get a message that states something like "A current file called EZDrummer has been detected. Will install EZDrummer2 in C:Program Files(x86)...", which is the 32-bit program path. The installer gives no option to manually select the install path. I have canceled the install until I figure out what to do.
 
Indeed, my current EZD1 is installed on the 32 bit path: C:\Program Files(x86)\Toontrack\EZDrummer\.
 
My question is, do I need to prevent the install of the 64-bit version on the above (x86) path, or is this just some odd message that everybody gets, and EZD2 will actually install on the 64 bit path "Program Files"? Suggestions welcome!
 
Thanks-
 
Bob

    This is from memory, but I'm pretty sure what you are seeing is ok and you should continue to the next phase of the installer. I have both 32 and 64 bit Ez installed and working. All of the basic program files for BOTH (other than the actual 32 bit and 64 bit dil files) are located in the location you mention. So I would click past that window, and then you should see an option for where you want to place the 64 bit dil file. It will probably say something like "location for 64 bit vst". If there is a browse option on that window, place it where you have your other 64 bit dils. If no option, make sure you write down the default location so you can later point your DAW to it.

    Thanks for the reply, LAGinz25.
     
    I just got a reply from Toontrack support that is in line with your suggestion:
     
    [From Toontrack]
    We are sorry for the confusion. The installer is not stating that it will install the 64 bit plugin to the x86 folder. It is stating that it will install EZDrummer's sounds and MIDI to the existing path in the x86 folder. This is an important distinction.
    The EZdrummer folder containing the sounds and MIDI SHOULD go to the x86 folder by default, even with a 64 bit install. The 64 bit plugin however will automatically install to the normal 64 bit program files folder. In short, everything is ok with your installation.

    Yeah, I'm doing a clean install of things and the 64 bit Program Files EZ Drummer just has some files in it but all the real guts of the program is in Program Files (x86) so you can just move on.

    To EZDrummer2 Users,
    I've recently installed EZD2 and it will work fine using a shortcut on my desktop.  The .exe program is installed:"C:\Program Files\Toontrack\EZdrummer\EZdrummer64.exe"    I can also copy the EZdrummer folder to other locations and it will still work from the desktop location.
    My problem is: Sonar X2 isn't recognizing EZD2 at all.  It still reverts back to the older EZD.
    Just installed the update of X2, went to Preferences and reset all VST plugins and resacnned.  Even tried to add the directories where I know the shortcut works.  NO LUCK.  My EZX's are all in C:\Program File (x86)\Toontrack\EZDrummer.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Do I need to delete the old EZdrummer completely...what happens to the older songs created with EZdrummer?
    Thanks,
