The update consists of 11 brand new sound collections, which are now also available in IK’s new SampleTank “Custom Shop”. IK Multimedia is proud to announce that SampleTank® 3, its industry-standard sample workstation has just received a major update in the form of version 3.5. This really expands SampleTank to the big leagues. Using the Custom Shop, you can buy these sounds individually or the whole package. This includes 11 new sound collections and 12 new libraries.

If you already have a ticket open, please continue to work with them.IK Multimedia has a major update to the company’s flagship software sampler SampleTank 3. If you have followed Peter_IKs instruction from post #2, 3 and 4 of this thread and you have still not had a successful install, IK Support can work specifically with your system and give you specific instructions. With the best will in the world, everyone's systems are different and various people telling you different things, albeit working for them, will only help to confuse your installation more.

I would strongly suggest that you put in a ticket to IK Support for some specific one-to-one help on this. Judging by some of this information, there appears that something really has gone wrong with the uninstall/reinstall across your various products. I don't wanna install the whole samples, because i'm not sure if this is correct! Last Folder is SampleTank 4 with ST4 Instruments Files. In these folders all files are ST3 instruments files In Instruments folder the following was installed: Whitealbum wrote: In Library Info there are SampleTank 3 Free, SampleTank 3 SE and Sampletank 3 pak files I did have one tech instruct me to find the instruments.db file in the C:Users\USERNAMEDocuments\IK MultimediaSampleTank 4 directory and delete it and then SampleTank will automatically rescan the instruments when you re-start the program, but I had already uninstalled the programs and the file was gone - so maybe this will help someone else. Removing and re-adding the directory where the sound files were located and re-scanning did not help to resolve the problem. The problem I was having was that the SoundTank program showed the sound files as locked, even though both programs were properly authorized. Whether or not this caused the problem I was having, don't know, but it is working for me now. I completely deleted the old install of ST3 and got a new directory structure -ĬURRENT WORKING DIRECTORY (The same except for SampleTank 4 Sound Directories):

I had a left-over directory structure from my old original install of ST3 Custom Shop where ST4 installed on top of: I finally got my installation working by uninstalling both ST4 and ST3, installing all sound files first, authorizing BOTH ST4 AND ST3 (Custom Shop Free Sounds), then installing both programs - ST4 and ST3 Custom Shop.
