    Make sure you download and install X2a, as well.  Please note that the X2a update REQUIRES SP1 to have been installed on Windows 7, so make sure Windows is up to current maintenance levels prior to installing X2a.

    And, I believe you need to do a full VST scan after the install.

    Skip the X2 DimPro install if you installed in X1, they are identical. The Loops and One-shots contain all the Beatscape loops. If you installed Beatscape in X1, you can safely delete the Beatscape library and create a junction to the Loops folder to replace the Beatscape Library Folder. Then open Beatscape and hit F5 to refresh the file list.

    I think you should also skip the Rapture install (under custom installation) too.  There is a separate installation patch for it with X2.  Seems Rapture would not install correctly with X2, but I can't recall the specific cause. 

    Kind regards,
