Scott EshlemanSorry. That is the entirety of the original post by ‘geebake’.
As a Mac user, I have no experience with the manifest file or its contents.
I’m simply passing along some solutions offered by others that I found simply by searching the forum.

I’ll try to quote the meat-and-potatoes of their suggestions.

I don’t know if this has been covered elsewhere but I thought it may help a user or two here.
As we all know, higher and higher resolution displays on our laptops are becoming more and more common. Even full HD now seems quaint. My Dell XPS 15 has a resolution of 3200 x 1800 and that’s not unusual anymore. The result is that some software can open in impossibly small windows – rendering it useless. In my experience all Toontrack software falls into this category.
Fear not! There is a fairly simple solution.
The lowly manifest file.
Below is the text of an example manifest file. In fact, it’s the manifest file for my laptop – fixing EZdrummer 2.
EZdrummer64false
Note the line toward the beginning that says:
“name=”EZdrummer64.exe””
That must contain the exact name of the executable file. A few lines below it is another place we need to enter the application name.
To use this file. Open a new, blank text file. Copy and paste the above into the text file and save it to the directory where the offending application lives.
In my case, that directory is:
C:Program FilesToontrackEZdrummer
The file must be named as follows:
Exact original executable name + .manifest.
eg.
EZdrummer64.exe.manifest
As mentioned before, it must reside in the same directory as that exe.
After the file exists and is in the correct location, all you have to do is launch the application normally and windows will take care of the rest.
There is ZERO danger in using this. It only gives windows a few instructions that tell it how to render. NO permanent changes are made to anything. If you don’t like the results, simply delete the manifest file and all will return to original state.
Hope this helps,
Greg

Scott EshlemanThis is a Sweetwater-only packaging of the full EZDrummer2 product and the Songwriter’s MIDI add-on pack bundle.
Toontrack EZdrummer 2 Songwriters Edition Features at a Glance:
EZdrummer 2 drum software,
plus 6 world-class collections of production-ready drum MIDI performances
Includes Songwriters Drumpack 1/2/3/4 and Songwriters Fillpack 1/2
Approximately 2,800 individually played grooves and fills
Covers a wide range of musical styles, tempos, and time signatures
Toontrack and most other retailers sell these 2 products separately:
http://www.toontrack.com/product/ezdrummer-2/
http://www.toontrack.com/product/songwriters-drumpack-collection/
Scott EshlemanSDX MID grooves are a separate download from the samples.
Please look for them in your Toontrack account.
Scott EshlemanPlease check out the Instrument Lists for the ‘Americana’ and ‘Nashville’ EZX expansions.
…which does make me wonder about the SDX(s) from which they are derived.

Second: there is a posibility to create an new drum kit in muy Beat Buddy pedal by the app but for that i need all the wav files of each instrument and as i saw the drum kits in EZdrummer 2 is in a not open pack. If i pay for these drum kit i sould have the cahce to use it as i need it no? How can i find these wav files in the Post-Rock EZX pack or in the default vintage or moderm.

I think that you’re confusing sample libraries and virtual instruments. EZDrummer is a virtual instrument, not just a collection of samples.
and I think that you’ll find that the description for each EZDrummer EZX expansion sound library states that it “REQUIRES EZDRUMMER”.
Like almost every other virtual instrument on the market,
EZDrummer EZX sound libraries can only be used within the Toontrack drum products, EZDrummer & SuperiorDrummer.
They can’t be used in Addictive Drums, SessionDrummer or StudioDrummer. LIkewise, AddictiveDrums libraries can’t be played by EZDrummer.

I am logged into the forum. When I “cut and paste” the urls into a new web browser, I get a forum message that the page has moved.
As these posts are both found in the ‘EZDrummer Support’ area of the forum,
perhaps they are restricted to demo-only forum members.
I’ll try to quote the meat-and-potatoes of their suggestions.
