Any update from Toontrack on this?

And here we go… 26 MIDI packs have to be updated. I’m too tired to do the math to figure out how many mouse clicks that is. And besides, my clicking finger will be in rehab.

This is ridiculous!!!

Any progress on this? Got my new Mac Studio and it’s taking FOREVER to do all the installs. Then to add insult to injury, products with fresh downloads need updates immediately after installation. And the update is a two or three part installation!! Seems like there is no good reason to have the MIDI update as a separate installer from a sound installer update, etc.

Guess I will have everything installed by the end of the week. Software is great, but this is a terribly annoying process.

Is anyone actually working on this?

I have 122 registered products including expansion kits and midi packs. For my new laptop the installation method has made this an enormous task!! No way I would do this in one sitting, so I have actually spread it out over weeks, doing a few at a time because WHO HAS TIME FOR THIS?!?!? Writing this reply as my Arturia, Waves, Native Instruments, and Softube software updates in the background without any further input. Plug-in Alliance does ONE download and ONE install. This is more important to me now than new sounds, instruments, or MIDI packs.

I would like to see this go beyond the above response:

Agree. Just got a new laptop and have to install multiple libraries and countless updates. Too many clicks and passwords to count.

Love the software, but the installation and update process sucks. Take a cue from Softube, Native Instruments, Arturia, and others. Simply “update all” and the magic happens without user intervention. You have so many products now that I think this is a necessity!
