    I seem to be having some trouble and google isn't helping if anyone can help it would be appreciated
    i have 8 discs mounted (1 r2r the others dynamics) when i go into installer it goes through fine except when i need to tell it where to install Steam library

    Alert:
    Failed to create folder:/wherever i point it to

    you should read the other post here 8 discs mounted will give errors
    better to mount one at a time and try again.

    What the fuck, this is like the 15th thread about Omni2 in 2 days, this thing is getting ridiculous, what do you guys think,
    that audiosex is your fuckin personal dumpster for your disposable one thread-one (already answered) question?

    Use one of the dozens active threads, please, please :(

    Sorry if now I get mad at you, it's not just you, many people use this place in the same way, and would be cool if they stop.
    We already have audioz for the daily dose of nonsense, let's keep at least one of the two a usable place, please :sad:

    steam folder should be installed into default location first, you should only mount one disk at a time

    are you letting the installer have admin permissions to be able to install the folder?

    Hey colejack read this

    quote by copylefter

    Thanks for a proper keygen HEXWARS!
    I will post here the correct procedure for a full install.
    What to download for a proper full O2 install:
    1: Spectrasonics.Omnisphere.2.DVDR.D1.PROPER-R2R
    2: From D2 to D8 released by DYNAMiCS
    3a(WiN): Spectrasonics.Omnisphere.v2.0.Patch.and.Keygen.Only-R2R
    3b(MAC): Spectrasonics.Omnisphere.v2.0.3d.MacOSX.Incl.Patched.and.Keygen-HEXWARS
    --------------------------
    How to install and authorize:
    1: Mount D1-PROPER-R2R, and D2-D8 DYNAMiCS,
    start installation with "Step 1 - Installer", continue until finished, will take long time.
    2: Install "Step 2 - Data Updater" from DYNAMiCS release.
    3: Optionally install "Step 3 - For Trilian Users" and "Step 4 - For Moog Tribute Users"
    4: Install R2R Patch.and.Keygen or HEXWARS.Patched.and.Keygen.
    5: Start plug-in and copy challenge code, input to keygen, generate a response and paste it into Omnisphere2 auth window.
    6: Relaunch plug and enjoy ! :wink:

    I just pressed installer and everything was done .No pointing to any STEAM Folder.That is clearly mentioned in the first DVD.Please read all NFO.You dont need to point to the STEAM folder ...that's done by the installer automatically.Just see that you have enough space on you drive and ,after its done ...follow stepS 2,3,4,and 5.Its just great that we have so many people who TAKE THE TIME AND ENERGY to help all of us by giving workarounds each time they come across any installation problems.Its all there.Check our sister site and see the quotes by all members.lol :wink:

    Hi Sirsillysausage
    I am letting it go to the default location and still getting the error, when i try pointing to new location i also get the error
    if by "letting the installer have admin permissions to be able to install the folder" you mean when the installer asks for my admin password am i putting that in Yes i am. (if there is another way to give admin rights other than the steps in the installer please let me know, i honestly don't know )

    Hi beatroot
    How to install and authorize:
    1: Mount D1-PROPER-R2R, and D2-D8 DYNAMiCS,
    start installation with "Step 1 - Installer", continue until finished, will take long time.

    ok i have done it this way with 8 discs mounted at once and i have done it with 1 mounted (as mentioned by momo) and still get the error so can't move on to the next steps
    I have enough space on the drive

    Thank you for your time and consideration
    I am really not trying to offend anyone

    (Win 8.1/64) Is it not possible to install this by not doing any 'mounting' or DVD burning? I am having difficulty even mounting, tried with two software already and getting errors. Why can't we just unpack the ISOs and place the Steam folder on another drive.

    Installer writes some informations in Windows Registry... Have you checked your ISOs ? See here maybe some ISOs are corrupted?
    Windows users: don't mount all 8 discs at the same time, but mount correct disc when asked by installer (Spectrasonics Omnisphere for first, then Omnisphere B and so on until Omnisphere H).

    About DVD1: use only ISO, installers and R2R's patcher/KG enclosed in "D1 PROPER" version (don't use previous release).

    This may take a while, hehe
    I had this problem on Windows.
    here is what I did.
    1)install omnisphere off disc 1 proper r2r.
    2)when asked to point to steam folder simply open program data folder and manually copy the steam folder from disc1 to this location. Open steam folder and unrar a components folder.
    repeat the above for the rest of the discs ie. Copy the steam folder(s) from disc 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and merge each one. Now you have the full steam folder!
    3)go back to installing and select the steam folder.
    4) update with the tool in disc1.
    5) patch plugins with r2r patched/keygen. (I was given a choice to patch the plugins in program data folder which I did BUT I also navigated to them in my vst folders and patched them again.)
    6)run omnisphere and activate with r2r keygen.
    7) close your daw.
    8) restart daw load omnisphere.
    hope this helps.

    Hi Mykal
    Please just delete the thread instead I didn't realize I would cause so much negativity in the forum. I was just looking for help but I should of known not to start a thread here. The issue is obviously with my computer and I shouldn't be taking up valuable space in the forum. I would feel horrible if someone got banned and I played a part in it.

    Again I do apologize and I won't be posting anymore I am sorry for the inconvenience please try and focus on the positive comments and threads.

    Thank you

    Thank you mafana That's exactly what I was thinking to do glad that it worked for you...there's still hope ;)
