Anyone else having trouble unpacking and installing these, I cant even unzip them with winzip. Help needed please

Hi Royarn
Having the same issue here, unzips to 99% then stops. Tried on two different machines and downloads with no success.

Hi,guys. I had the same issue with the installer showing 99% and stopping. I stopped the installer opened DimPro standalone, opened the browser, and the strings didn't show. PRESS F5 with the browser open. The patch list re-scans and you should see the string folder on your list. Kinda wierd but there is a bug in the installer I guess. BTW, let it sit on 99% for a little while to make sure that it is done.

I had the same problem so I re-downloaded it and it worked.

I take benefit from this thread to ask you what do you think about those strings ? Apparently, no "round robin" samples, and so for fast staccatos : machine gun effect guaranteed ! But maybe, they have other qualities ?

I think you just need to be patient.

I thought my download had stalled at 92%. I left it alone for about 20 minutes, came back to find it had all installed during my absence.

Hi John Sidroe and Outlandish music, thanks for your replies. So I'm not alone here, I've downloaded them on another pc and they unzip properly but cant transfer them to my music pc on either a stick or dvd. I'll try sidroe's way, then download them from my music pc which I only use internet on minimally if it don't work for me.

Best Roy

My impression is it is a very nice string library for a give-away but I don't think I would have paid 150 smackers for it. Don't get me wrong! It is useable. It kind of reminds me of the old E-mu and Akai libraries. It is rather cramped as far as the roundrobins and so forth. 150 will get you Garritan which is not the be-all of string libraries but very much a giant leap over the DSF strings. I have LSO as well but it can be pricey. Don't expect these strings to be your go to orchestra but still very nice to have as an extra.

Thanks Sidroe, I'll give this a try tonight. I'll also leave the installer to sit for while as BJ did just in case its just slow unpacking the files.

More than welcome! Wow, I can't believe an old guy from Macon,Ga. in the States was able to help a nice guy in England. This forum is un-believable.
