To install the plug-in double-click on "Install 2C-B2 Demo.mpkg". A standard OSX Installer will launch. Follow the installer instructions.

By default, VST, Audio Unit and RTAS versions are installed.
If you would like to install only particular versions read the installer instructions on the readme page.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before launching setup.exe make sure it is located on the primary system drive of your local computer, and not on a shared network drive.

To install the plug-in simply launch setup.exe and follow the instructions.

If you are using a 64-bit OS you can install the 32-bit, the 64-bit, or both VST versions.

Note that in order to load the 64-bit VST version of the plug-in you must use a 64-bit VST host.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON DUAL 32/64-bit INSTALLATION:

a) You must install 32-bit and 64-bit versions into different VST folders

b) Your 64-bit host should point to 64-bit version VST folder and
your 32-bit host should point to 32-bit VST folder respectively
