Hi guys, hope you're all fine.

I'm switching from Reaper to Ableton Live, because I recognized the amount of beautiful racks available and how easily you can produce music with it.

That way I would use Ableton to produce and Reaper to mix and master my music.

The problem is this:

I tried to install Ableton Live Suite 9.7.3 but it always pop up a message that shows me something similar to this:

The program can't find a Plate Reverb IR called Long Plate.adv.ogg
Inside this directory:
Ableton.Live.Suite9.7/ableton_live_suite_9.7_32/Ableton/Live 9 Suite/Resources/Core Library/Ableton Folder Info/Previews/Devices/Instruments/Collision/Mallets


The problem is that the file is right inside that folder but it seems that the installation process doesn't recognize it.
I tried to substitute it but nothing happens, now it gives me the message that the files name inside the folder is too long.

I'm lost...

 

Are you installing from a mounted image? If not, try shortening the source folder path.

 

Yeah man, I had to extract files from an ISO

 

You have 2 options:

1. Mount/install the ISO image using a program like DaemonTools.

2. Extract your installation folder to the root of your drive, for example
C:\ableton_live_suite_9.7.3_64\ableton_live_suite_9.7.3_64.msi

You might want to even shorten that folder name to "a" so that the "msi" installer file is like this:

C:\a\ableton_live_suite_9.7.3_64.msi

 

If you copy the A-L-S.973 iso 7z.exe to your desktop you can use 7zip and chouse extract here
so it won't unpack the iso in a folder inside a folder then use extract here again with 7zip on the iso to upack it ,you should end up with two folders on your desktop for x86 and x64
you can try run the setup again for within these folders.
but i would go with Mount iso like ELpH said as it's the best way to install from iso.

I will try again as soon as I get home and I'll keep you updated, thanks a lot in the meantime guys!

 

I solved the old problem, and now I got this....
I can't believe it.

Bright Pad Filterless Sweep.ogg.asd missing from this directory (when it's inside)
Resources/Core Library/Ableton Folder Info/Previews/Devices/Instruments/Operator/Synth Pad

I will reinstall it and try again. It seems that for every file I solve, a new one missing pop up.

 

Maybe rename the files (opt in for showing known extensions in folder options first).
I use Live 9.7.3 (64x) and in that folder I have 2 files. One .ogg and one .adv:

Bright Pad Filterless Sweep.adv.ogg (this one is 34,9 kB)
Bright Pad Filterless Sweep.adv.ogg.asd (this one is 9,61 kB)
