Hello, I installed JS2 in a new Windows (7 Pro x64) instance, following this sequence:

- Jamstix2 setup (2.1.0 IIRC)
- Update to 2.5.2
- Update to 2.5.3 beta 14 (just replaced DLL)
- JS2 stock kit
- JS2 XL Pak (3 files)
- JS2 Metal Pak
- JS2 Bonzo Pak (3 files)
- Jamcussion
- Reinstalled 2.5.2 update and 2.5.3b14 (Jamstix complained about misaligned data, reupdate fixed)

I also have an old JS2 install (XP pro SP3), in which I probably made many more updates between 2.1 and 2.5.23b14, and I unexpectedly found some differences between the two data folders.

More in detail, the new JS data folder has these files missing:

data\kits\Rock:
TD20 - Bonzo Power.j2k
TD20 - Brush Kit (XL).j2k

data\players:
Mark.jxp
Mark.txt

data\sounds:
Cowbell - Agogo JC _a01x2.rzd
Ghana JC.bmp

Furthermore, the old install peaks.cch file has four lines different compared to the new one, and many more lines at the bottom:

Hello,

do you mean this one linked in the download page? It seems the same file bit by bit downloaded for 2.5.2 update, so it can be used to install 2.5.2 directly?

"STEP #2 - PLUGIN DOWNLOAD
This file installs the Jamstix 2 VSTi plugin. Download and execute to perform the installation.
-----> Download Jamstix 2 (6MB)"

Thank you,
Mario

Yes, it's the full installer. Just use it to install over what you currently have. Please run it via right-click->Run As Admin
