Title: Spark CDM Expansion Packs not compatible with Spark2?
Post by: artao on November 14, 2015, 10:02:14 am
So, since I'll soon be receiving a Spark CDM, I decided to browse over the Spark CDM page on your main website.
Under Resources, and clicking "Show Archive," I found and downloaded a couple expansion packs; Summer Sound, and Galactic Beats.
I installed them, and all seemed to go fine.
However, they show up nowhere in Spark2, nor do I see them in my Spark Library folder (C:\Users\<me>\My Documents\Spark Library\...
None of the folders in there contain anything resembling what I thought I'd installed.
Are these expansion packs simply incompatible with Spark2? If so, then why did it appear to install? .... I suppose they're still available (if non-compatible with Spark2) for those who haven't upgraded to Spark2?
If incompatible with Spark2, is there any chance of converting all those freely downloadable expansion packs on the Spark CDM resources page so they DO work with Spark2? Please?
Or maybe I did something wrong? I even tried running the installer as Administrator, but with no different results.

Yep, should be

Should all go into your Spark Library but you might find that these packs are already included in Spark 2.

Thanks, Stuart

I see. That would explain it. Are they not named as such tho? Because I'm not seeing anything with the names of the expansion packs in my library.

I did look into the library and see modification dates for today (when I installed the same kits) Neo Soul was 1 i remember being changed.

But certainly they were't in the expansion packs menu as the EDM and Hollywood kits are.

Thanks, Stuart
