My problem is this: I downloaded and installed Sound Forge
5 beta and then decided I couldn't upgrade at this time. I
uninstalled the program using the included uninstall within
Sound Forge 5 beta. Unfortunately, it also uninstalled the
complete XFX-1 plugin within AcidPro 2.0! It left the
Express plugins, however. When I try to reinstall AcidPro
2.0 from the CD, I receive an error message stating that I
will need to uninstall the updated version of AcidPro
(because I downloaded updates here & there) and reinstall
from the CD. Then, following this process, I would need to
re-download the updates and install them again. Is there no
way I can install my XFX-1 plugin without having to go thru
all of this? I checked the CD and can find no separate XFX-
1 install (which sucks). Would appreciate any help here
before I contact SF direct. Thanks much!!!

I could've sworn that the ACID Pro CD's AutoPlay had a
separate link to install XFX-1. Did you try that?

HTH,

If it does, I can't find it. The install program won't even
let me get past the first page before the error message
alerting me to my attempt to install an older version is
not possible without first uninstalling the updated
version. I browsed the CD and cannot find a separate
install program for the XFX-1, so I don't think so, but
thanks for the idea.

Boy, do I feel dumb!!! You're absolutely right,Iacobus. The
XFX-1 install program was not on the main disc. It was on
my disc that says "Loops" and I kind of looked over that
one! Sorry about that. I now have it reinstalled with no
prob. Thanks for your help!

Me again. Well, I thought it was over, but then I
discovered that the SoundForge 5.0 beta uninstall also
removed my mp3 plugin! Boy, am I pissed! Has anyone had
similar probs? I find this ridiculous in the truest sense.
So far, have not located a separate install for the mp3
plugin, but will keep looking...if all else fails, will
download an mp3 decoder from someone else. I sure as hell
won't reinstall everything again because of SF's screwy
uninstall program...don't they ever test these things?!
