Proceed at your own risk! You need a Microsoft program called orca.msi     Get it here<\/a> or here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Install orca and then use it to modify the settings in the EZdrummer2_32bit_install.msi (or EZdrummer2_64bit_install.msi). There are other Msi Editors that can do the same job, but I used Orca.<\/p>\n

Load the EZdrummer2 installer into orca and then search for VersionNT>600<\/p>\n

VersionNT>600 is only found once in the EZD2 installer. Change that entry to VersionNT>500 and save (only work on a copy of the installer!)<\/p>\n

Once the LaunchCondition has been changed to VersionNT>500 EZD2 will install on XP.<\/p>\n

I did this last night, authorized my new EZD2 online at Tootrack’s site and then loaded up a Reaper project that already had EZD in it. It worked like a champ.<\/p>\n

As soon as you have EZD2 open in your first project, you will need to go to the Menu in the top right of EZD2 and rebuild the database. Also, check Toontrack for upgrades to any extra drum packs you have purchased.<\/p>\n

Proceed at your own risk! This worked for me but it may not work for you. Only work on a copy of the installer msi!!! Toontrack will (probably) not provide you with any support for use on XP.<\/p>\n

Good luck, Jack <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
