Don't get me wrong, I love-love-love my UX1 and the POD Farm version 1.03 that came with it. And if I never find a solution to the error (Pod Farm Failed to initialize L6TWXY Framework code 0x8000e00a) when trying to upgrade to the free 2.51, I won't jump off a building.
But I find it very odd that so many other users have had the same problem upgrading to this free software. I wonder if I had bought 2.51 outright, would I (we), be having this problem.
I suspect that offering a program which must be bought and paid for outright would not be very successful if it didn't install reliably. It is indeed puzzling that the 1.03 version that is bundled with my unit is a breeze, in fact a pleasure to install, while the upgrade to 2.51 is a bear...in fact not even possible on my machine - and I assume many others.
I regret to say I have given up trying to install 2.51. I've cut my losses. It looks to be fantastic, but like I said it's no big deal. 1.03 is trucking and is awesome.
Thanks to Line 6 and their products ![]()
Took over 8 months and several attemps between the time I first tried Pod Farm Free and the moment I managed to get it working, therefore justifying the purchase.
I REALLY wanted Pod Farm to work. In fact, the solution to my problem was one that was adressed to Pro Tools users, so at first, I disregarded it. But I eventually ended up trying it, just for the sake of it, and it worked. I bought PF the day after.
What does this mean? That the average potential customer most likely would have turned their back on PF.
BTW, POD Farm still is buggy and causes errors in Logic - less often but quite regularily. If not for the merits of sound quality, the software itself would rank pretty low on my list. I've seen donationware and shareware which work better.
I would then suggest that you use the Line 6 Uninstaller located at the location below to remove any currently installed versions of POD Farm 1 and 2:
Windows 7/Vista - C:\Program Files(x86)\Line6\Tools - Line6Uninstaller
Windows XP - C:\Program Files\Line6\Tools - Line6Uninstaller
Make sure to disconnect any of your Line 6 USB devices prior to starting the uninstaller. Make sure to only check the boxes at the top of the list that are related to POD Farm 1 and 2, and proceed to uninstall them. Once they are removed, restart the computer. Upon restart apply all available driver updates for your computer's hardware as well as Windows updates, especially anything related to C++.
After you have applied all available updates install POD Farm 2.51 from the link below:
I finally figured it out. I had to use the Monkey and get everything updated. That did it.
Thanks for the help guys.
