This is the discussion thread for Spec 4.86 Zag 3.0 from here: viewtopic.php?p=1951#p1951

OK, intermixed questions. I'll try to separate them out.

1) problems with download P2 from plogue.com during spec installation.

Lately there have been problems with accessing plogue.com from certain ISPs. For instance, I can't get there at all from work, but can from a T1 circuit at work or from home. I'll alert Seb @ plogue.com, and you can contact your ISP but that's about all we can do.

As you mentioned, you can manually try to download P2 from this link:

http://www.plogue.com/bidule/latest/PlogueBiduleP2.zip

unzip it and copy it to your \Plogue\Bidule folder (under program files or program files x86, depending on your OS) and use that file to launch plogue.

2) libcurl missing.

Plogue itself shouldn't need libcurl but spec does, so you would get that error when loading spec, not when starting plogue?

This has nothing to do with visual basic. Neither Spec nor Plogue use visual basic.

The Spec installer should have copied the libcurl dll file from the install bin folder to \Plogue\Bidule

A screen shot of the installer window would be helpful to debug what went wrong. Did you run the installer with Administrator privileges?

Did you perhaps try to run the installer (the first time) without actually unzipping the folder first?

no Zeearound i did doubt myself that too though
but i did unzip the package first then placed all files in proper place
after that i did install realPlugs and fired up the installer..... for the first time
then that connection error did show and thats all it did
then i posted the issue in first place ..
it's no big deal though i got anything working now
ill do appreciate ur help though

Is there a walk-through for Spec 4.86? I'm having a really hard time understanding how to get through an initial coversion utilizing 4.86, but following the 4.0 walk-through.
4.0 is no longer downloadable (AFaIK) or I would!
Thank you.

No that you've found the instructions in the download ;0) let me know how you are doing.

Start with the "simple" layout for a single song.

Will do! It's gonna be a lil dodgy until I figure out a solution for monitoring.
Baby steps!

Not having any luck...several groups are red. I have been able to recopy ZAG & whatever else is in "Z" but the entire 4.86 group is staying red and have had no luck. Spec 4.86.dll is in the plugin directory but no joy, same with the Input Selector and more I can't remember.
So if I make the layout default, replace the groups I can, save, reopen, they are red again.
Z?

btw this is of course the 64 bit stuff......
