How about the x1-Extended download that i bought and haven't installed yet -- are those features already in x2 (or how do we get them in?)

X1 Producer Extended features are included X2 Producer. If you bought the Production Suite, you may want to install the PC expander/gate module and the z3ta+2 synth. Those are separate installs that will not be affected by whatever you choose to do with X1.

Iv'e only skimmed the posts,and the OP's suggestions seem good,BUT-WOW This has been SO Much Easier than I EVER would have believed!

Firstly I use Chrome exclusively,as the downloading info while your downloading multiple files is very good SO,I just dwnldd the FIRST 2 info files,ALL the X2 .exe's[4 of them] + additional content,NO loops/one shots yet,SO the FIRST 6 files in your account download area,and number 12-additional content.

This all got done in about 2hrs,then I just opened the FIRST.exe[X2 .exe-not the info/PDF]and everything unpacked,I had already written my serials/Reg no.s last week,and presto,all my plugins,third party synths Everything,was just too easy.

The only mods,I have done is copy my X1 pro channel presets into X2's,as well as project templates,and some FX chain presets,and obviously I didn't copy the ones that are already in X2.

First impression is WOW,all my hassles of pro channel/fx chain presets opening to the wrong page....FIXED,yay!,and within minutes of the unpack,I was inserting Breverb/R-Mix,and playing projects back just as I would have yesterday,WITHOUT having to re-install ANY Pro Channel modules,or any plugins...simply amazing,excellent job Cakewalk,Easily the best most seamless install of ANYTHING Iv'e EVER HAD!

Thank you Cakewalk,X2 seems really astoundingly cool already!

P.S Just go slow,follow prompts,and install,very simple,and good luck ALL!

Thanks, I added .exe to the 4 X2 files but not to the others, perhaps that is my problem. I am tempted to delet it all and download it all again with Chrome... what a bunch of IE BS...

Thanks for the help. I REALLY needed to get upset before bedtime... I really did.

Thanks again..

Quite an over-reaction.. The LAST thing this is is IE b.s.
 
The first file from this unknown mirror server (01_read_this_first) does not have a verified publisher certificate and hence the firewall prevents IE from downloading an executable program to protect your pc. 
 
It took all of 1min to rename the several files in the download section from filename[1] to filename.exe
