It would appear that the boxed Omnisphere 2 Full Install (8 DVD's) has problems quite similar to the initial update fiasco that many of you endured.
Received Boxed Omisphere 2 (FULL - 8 DVD's) from Sweetwater this morning..HOORAY!
- Inserted Disc A
- Logged into my user account
- Entered my serial number
- Downloaded the Installers
- Ran the Step 1 Installer for Windows (Omnisphere 2 Installer.exe)
- Went through the prompts (where to install plugin / where to install Steam)
- Clicked 'Install'
- I get a dialogue box which states, 'Insert Spectrasonics Omnisphere then click OK. Press Cancel to terminate the entire installation process'
(Disc A is still in the drive)
- Click OK and the same dialogue box pops up..over and over.
- Insert/Reinsert Disc A a time or two
- Same message
When I click 'Cancel' something small installs quickly and I am presented with, 'Completing the Omnisphere Setup Wizard. Please run the data updater to complete the process'
Data updater says. 'Unable to find Steam Folder'
Well, of course..nothing was installed.
My guess is the 'Step 1 Installer' is the culprit.
I am so bummed. I really thought the full install would not have the issues that many of you who upgraded encountered.
Called Tech Support - Told via a voice message to email them, as phone support is backed up for days..
emailed Support..
And now I wait.
Any suggestions GREATLY appreciated..
