1. The Installation Center now says I have Stormdrum 2 Pro installed.
   I've been waiting for the Pro addon to go on sale (couple of years back it was on sale briefly for $25).
   Wonder if I really now have the addon installed and if so when it got added.
2. Even though I've updated my Installation Center several times it still says I have v1.2.3 instead of v1.2.5

My update summary: what a screw up.

• Had to manually update the Installation Center.
• The EW Piano updates appear to have been totally mishandled.
  See below.

Anyone update the pianos yet. Do the huge downloads overright the original installations???

Yes and NO.
Installed the Yamaha C7 - doesn't look like anything has changed with Sample/Instrument files.
The *.ews sample files are dated 12/21/2007
The *.ewi instrument files are dated 2/5/2017 (all my Plat piano files inst file are dated 2/5/17 from a previous update).
Edit/Correction: update installed the instrument and sample files to a new folder.  See image in my followup post.
 
 
Update looks like a mishandled Play modification.
When I look in the Installation Center the library location is missing as shown below. 

 
and after updating the Yamaha Piano Platinum Piano library now shows as a separate item in the Play browser.

 
BUT IT DOESN'T WORK
By 'it' I mean the new play menu item in the browser (in this case 'EW Pianos Platinum Yamaha') - thankfully the old 'EW Pianos Platinum' menu and its submenus (including the Yamaha) are still all working.
Note: I haven't tried rebooting my PC, animal sacrifices, deflowering virgins under a full moon or placing my laptop within a circle of salt. 

 
Maybe there's a way to re-add the Pianos without reinstalling so that everything shows properly, where you get the new separate menu item and it works but I'm out of time and patience for today.
