Guys! I had the same problem. I think it's connected with the location of the installer, as someone said. Well, try this only for testing and so try to find other folder of your intersting.

Well, my location was C:\Mirela\Addictive Drums 2. I mean, the location wherer a put the library placer.
So, I put it on Downloads folder and it works fine. (C:\Users\Mirela\Downloads\Addictive Drums 2).

Try also put it in other folders.

And remember of follow the instructions on .txt

 

Hello.
I've just installed new 2.1.7 version and had exactly the same problems I did with previous version.
Finally I tried your option - AND IT WORKED.

For people with the same problem I'll try to describe.
I have one HDD (D and one SSD (C: - it's the system drive of course).
I had all the firewalls, antiviruses and win defender turned OFF (but I don't think it is the case).
So I've installed ALL the things from AD2 to some folder on D:, that is:
VST plugin (only VST 32 and 64bit, no standalone),
the program itself (that is the uninstaller) and
Libraries - of course I ran the library placer in admin mode.
I have used the keygen.
Tried to run DAW and run the plugin - NO GUI FOUND :-(

So i copied libraries to C:\Downloads, run the library placer and that's the moment when it worked.
(I haven't yet experimented if it will work on any folder on C: or if it will work on a folder on D: that is not so "deep" hidden (lot's of subfolder I had)).

So thank you. Time to get my Akai MPK49 from under the bed

 

yes you did nothing wrong with that but helpful...for pc users haha

 

I have the same problem maybe we must wait for a FIX or new release

 

Hi! I've just bumped with same issue. In my case, I've been able to fix it.
I was mounting the library on a directory: "D : / Librerías /" (with an accent on the "i"). Changed that dir name to "Librerias", and worked like a charm.
So, if you have a weird character on the path, will most likely f*** the installation.

 

Perfect this worked for me! Thanks so much mate!

 

Hi guys!
I downloaded addictive drums and when I open the plugin, it works but just before it displays the following error messages: cCottonInstance::doBoot() FAILED! exception: Lua doString exception: Lua doString exception: Error found whencalling 'proc': File Data/events.db not found.

Right after this first error message, it displays cLuaGGUIWindow idle caught exception: Error found when calling 'proc': File Data/events.db not found

If anyone has a suggestion on how to clear these error messages, I'd love to hear it!

both errors show it cannot find (or open) a file: File Data/events.db not found. Did you verify that file exists, is in the right location, and that the permissions on the folder will allow that file to be opened? (read, write, and execute). For starters...
