I install the program and it says successful, and then I search the HD which is where it installed to and the only thing there is the installer again. It just keeps giving me the option to install which I've done 2 times and there isn't any program? HELP I hate the OSX installer.
 
Most Applications will install to the Applications Folder. Sometimes, they may end up in your Utility folder.

During the installation process it should tell you where the program will be installed.

What program are you having trouble with?
 
Surely that will show up in your software instruments list in your DAW ?

To elaborate: You can't open Z3TA+2 on its own as it is a plug in instrument which requires a host such as Logic or Cubase to run.

The plug in will have installed itself to Library>audio>plugins>components

I brought the component into the component folder but garage band only recognizes the vst's that are .vst?
 
Garageband only supports AU plugins, the installer will have installed Z3ta to the right place so there was no need to move it.

Either put it back, or better still delete it and run the installer again...then watch this video which shows you how to open third party plugs in GB

make sure you close and reopen GB after running the installer so it recognises the new plugin

I did that and it still didn't work and my garage band is like 5 years old so that video didn't really help. I wouldnt even be using it if this computer could run bootcamp..
