Did you try any of the previously posted solutions in this thread?

Can you give us any system details? Mac or PC? Are you on Pro Tools 10 or 9? Did you use the Set Content application?

After Xpand! has been instantiated, save, close and reopen the session, what happens?

You're not alone, Justus, I'm having the same problem. In order to install PT10, you have to uninstall 9, which also deletes the 'Pro Tools Creative Collection' folder from PT9. Because PT10 is currently only available as a download, they provided the program as one download, and the virtual instruments as a separate download. Installing both does not recreate the 'Pro Tools Creative Collection' folder. When you instantiate the Xpand2 plugin in PT10, the instrument libraries cannot be found. As far as I'm concerned, this is definitely an Avid installation error that needs to be corrected. The sad thing is, AVID won't even let you contact then directly about things like this without having to PAY for it!

And it shouldn't. Pro Tools 10 installs a new 'Avid Virtual Instruments' folder on the same level as the Pro Tools folder. Do you see that? Is the Xpand2 folder inside it?

DTS, why is this Xpand! issue not written up in the Pro Tools 10 ReadMe Known Issues?

Default Re: Pro Tools 10 XPAND2 No Sounds?

I'm having the same issue but installed the XPand content on another drive that I use only for VI content and I do not receive the screen asking me to point to the content.
Other Avid VI's asked me to browse to the content when I opened them for the first time but not XPand.
I know most people are running it from the Avid folder on the C Drive, the proper default location, but does anyone have any suggestions for me to connect to the content?


Thanks!!!
