factory expansion loading

[mehmethand]

I'm working on a drum sampler project very hard. As I'm a newby it really takes too much time and energy from me. Now there is another problem which I couldn't find a solution yet. Here it is:

I created 2 expansions which are called "factory drums" and factory percussions". These expansions have different sample maps, images, midi files . I want these 2 expansions available for all users.
Everything is working fine in HISE. But when I export VST3 and open it in DAW, those expansions won't appear in the plugin and I can't load them into plugin. So I searched and learned that expansions won't be compiled with the plugin.
How can I load my Factory expansions in the plugin? is there a manual way to make those expansions show up in VST3 preset browser so I can test them in DAW?
Regards...

To open the Expansions in a compiled plugin, you need to copy that Expansions folder to the AppData folder of the plugin.

HISE | Docs

(docs.hise.audio)

In a compiled plugin, this expansion folder will be a subfolder of the AppData directory and in order to extend your plugin, all you need to do is to copy the expansion folders in there .

@orange exactly. you’ll need to add these files to your installer so users install everything at once and can access it immediately. There’s a couple of threads on here about making installers.

@orange I hate it when I spend hours on problems with such simple solutions. Thank you so much again.
