Error loading the EZdrummer plug-in; The EZdrummer plug-in could not be found in the location expected. This may be the result of manually moving it to a different location. Please set the path to your custom location, or alternatively quit this application and reinstall EZdrummer. now i have uninstalled ezdrmmer and reinstalled it back but it will not openas it cant locate the plugin files in the VST folder that i have deleted and oh yh this will sound stupid but i also emptied my trash so i cant restore the VST folder again…please what can i do to resolve this issue????

Hi,

you seem to experience several problems at once.
First off, deleting the VST plugins folder shouldn’t affect Logic, since Logic loads AU plugins which are located in the ‘{Mac HD}/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components’ folder.
Deleting the ‘{Mac HD}/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST’ folder would affect the EZdrummer 2 Standalone, though, since it loads the VST for correct operation.
If there is no ‘VST’ folder in your ‘{Mac HD}/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/’ folder, please create one first, then run the 2.1.1 update.
If you have no ‘Components’ folder in there, I recommend creating one as well.
If this fails, what happens if you run the Full EZdrummer 2 installer first and then the 2.1.1 update, does the Standalone load as expected?

I have a similar problem: “The EZdrummer plug-in could not be found. Please quit this application and reinstall EZdrummer.” (This is when attempting to load the standalone app.)

Seems simple enough—except reinstalling EZdrummer does NOT replace the required VST file. In fact the installer literally doesn’t even provide the option to select installation of the VST. The only options are Core Library, AAX, and RTAS. (See attached screenshot.) I selected Core Library (and deselected the others because they’re not needed), but after reinstallation, there still is no VST in the VST folder.

So, if the VST plug-in is required, as you claim, why doesn’t the EZdrummer installer install it?!?
