Success!! Thank you unkJE.... Thanks for posting clear steps for the work around.. There's was only one spot that was a little vague, at least to me!! After downloading 18.3 you instructed to "Double-click on the Xpand!2 Plug-In in:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins
I never double clicked the Xpand!2 plug.
I wasn't sure what to do because I didn't see the Xpand!2 plug-in specifically when I went to the address on the C drive, I right clicked in the Patch Content folder, created that third folder Factory Presets, and carried on... I guess I was lucky because it's working..

Thanks again
