DISCLAIMER: This solution involves a VERY SIMPLE registry edit. However, if you are not confident in editing the registry, please do not do so as you can render your system unusable.

I had the same problem as metrosuperstar (and several other SD3 users). I tried the suggestion from Toontrack FAQ that suggests just moving the EZDrummer folder from C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesToontrackEZDrummer. This just resulted in SD3 telling me no midi files were available. I also tried (several times) to uninstall and re-install SD3. As metrosuperstar pointed out, once you have already had SD3 installed, uninstalling and re-installing does not give me an option for any locations other than the 64-bit vst.

Soooooo…..I found out that this is because uninstalling does not clear out all of the registry entries. With a little digging, I found the registry entry for the EZX directory and changed the registry key to my external drive. Everything now works like a charm!! and my many GB of EZXs are now no longer taking up space on my small operating system SSD.

BTW, all of this is in Windows 10 64-bit, but should be the same in any 64-bit Windows version from Windows 7 on. The registry key to modify is as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWOW6432NodeToontrackSuperiorEZDrummerHomePath
