So I keep it on a separate drive, have for many, many years. I hit delete by mistake. Canceled as soon as I realized, but lost a ton. I did recover everything that was lost but seems to much to figure out where they came from.
Cannot believe I did this.
Bad timing for sure. 
So do the exe files give you the option for a custom install? If not I am not sure how to get everything back again.
Most files recovered (20 GB worth) are waves, flac, cfx rx2 mid. and all the ad2 stuff. Which I have no idsea what my password was and the email I used to install ad2 no longer exist. It was my own domain from when I was working in IT Now defunct.

Just restore from the backup you surely made.

Just what I need, wisecracks...Thanks

There is no advanced install option past the X-Series. Either re-run the installers or perform a clean install. I would probably do a clean install. Some of the content installers appear to have been removed. May want to ask support to restore them. I do not believe anyone in the content installers thread contacted support.

Have you deleted them from the recycling bin?
You can go in to the recycling bin and restore them from there ?

Think about how you would feel if you were asking for help and someone said that to you.

I would say "Oh yeah, thanks".
And mount up the last tib.
 
I'm not trying to be a wise cracker. Do your backups people! all kinds of crap can happen to you today.
I work everyday in a world where nobody does. - A hard drive is a very dangerous place to keep only one copy of your stuff.

All im saying is there might come a day you need help and the last thing you want (in your time of need)
is someone rubbing your mistake in your face.
 
That's what you did.

Search for "File Recovery software". I used one years ago that helped me recover deleted files, I don't remember which one but a Google search should bring you several to choose from (some free). I'd advise making a backup before you run the utility.
 
Good luck.

Thanks Chuck......................I have backups of everything else - three fold. How I overlooked that folder I'll never know. Because I am fanatical about it. I do have backups from 2016. 2 0f them. But I do not know what might be missing. Was thinking of using one of those and then installing all the exes from that date forward.
Some folks are just so full of compassion. 
 
So I am a little hesitant about reinstalling( I mean a clean install) because with my luck that will be when the servers go down. I would feel better if we had the "alleged" authorization app\algorithm we heard whispers about.
Also, not in the recycle bin. Like I said I have all the files, but figuring out where they go is mind boggling.
 
I have a hard drive in a safety deposit box, I guess I need to go to the bank. If it has it, cool. If it doesn't it needs to.

Re: the AD2 stuff, you really should be managing that through XLN Audio's Online Installer (similar to Command Center).  Contact XLN Audio support and get your account sorted out.  If you haven't already, do the same with Celemony for Melodyne. (I haven't used CC for either of these products since day One).
 
As far as the CW stuff, just go to your account and start downloading. Consider this an opportunity to inventory all of your CW products.... And don't forget to copy down all of your serials/reg codes!
