PhilHarmonik 2 CE can't load .vpa file?

Postby MattDixon1992 » Wed Apr 29, 2020 1:28 pm

Hi,

Sorry if this is a really obvious fix but I've spent all morning trying to get this to work.

I've downloaded and installed everything but when I try and boot up the standalone (or in DAW) I get a message saying it cannot load PhilHarmonik2.vpa

I've checked in the program files and it's there next to everything else.

I tried an uninstall then reinstall and no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Matt

Hello MattDixon1992 and welcome to the forum.

I am sorry to hear about the problems you are running into.

There have been several reports of this, including:
https://cgi.ikmultimedia.com/ikforum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=23371
https://cgi.ikmultimedia.com/ikforum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=23982
https://cgi.ikmultimedia.com/ikforum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=23974 ?

Some users installed an earlier version (v2.0.5?) for the moment.

As this is primarily a user to user forum, someone-else may chime in [#]. Meanwhile, the best thing to do is raise a Support Ticket, here for some one to one investigation and help (US (East Coast) Business hours, generally). Response time is usually within 2 working days, but in the current circumstances please cut them some slack.

[#] But please remember that the same symptoms do not necessarily mean the same problem.

Note that this is typically an issue with anti-virus software pulling a false positive. For any users with this issue, please try installing version 2.0.5 from your IK User Area, then downloading and updating to 2.0.6 again. I'm told this has worked almost every time.

^^^
Just for info ...

Go to your User Area on the IKM web site, then to "My Products" and, under the Miroslav Philharmonik 2 section, click [Past Releases}. Download the v2.0.5 installer from there.

Going back to v2.0.5 solved the issue for me

I did the same thing a day ago. But updated to v2.0.6 with success afterward. My steps:

1. Uninstalled MP2 using it's in-folder uninstaller.
2. Downloaded and installed v2.0.5 without using the Product Manager.
3. Opened MP2 and played around just a bit to make sure everything worked.
4. Restarted computer
5. Opened Product Manager and clicked "Update" under the MP2 section and let update install.

No troubles running MP2 standalone, in my DAW or VST host since. I know it may seem obvious, but after running multiple experiments with installs, this seems to be the one the works most reliably. I was prepared to stick with v2.0.5 since I'm not running a Mac, but was determined to be running the latest version so that I could sleep at night. (You know that strange "latest version" thing that we have). :ugeek:

Hello everyone. I have the same problem that you have encountered so I would like to switch from version 2.0.6 to 2.0.5 . From the product manager I can't . How to do it? Thanks to those who will answer.

Go to your User Area / My Products / Miroslav Philharmonik 2 and select the [Past Releases] tab. You should see all the releases there. Download v2.0.5, extract the installer and run it.
