I installed them too, and to be honest it was pretty much a mess.
First, the ZIP file contains all the WAVs plus the SF2 file plus the  
giga file! So it's a 260 MB download for about 120 MB worth of  
samples. Obviously intended for distribution on CD and not for download.
Then all WAV files are named 1.wav or 2.wav or 3.wav or 4.wav., and  
they are placed in various subfolders. Once I had moved these folders  
into my samples folder, EXS24 couldn't identify the samples. While  
first loading the instrument, EXS24 asked a gazillion times which  
sample is the correct one. Something else must have been got messed  
up too, because most samples sounded very noisy and scratchy. In the  
end I had to re-assign all the sample files, but then everything  
worked fine.

One might think the samples are high resolution (quote: "Eingespielt  
in höchster Qualität in 24 Bit/96 KHz") but they all are 16 bits/44.1  
kHz. Glad that they are, the download was really huge enough.

oops, I missed that one. In fact I could not load neither the SF2 nor  
the giga file (both are shown as "executable UNIX file" here - huh?).  
But there was also a EXS file in the ZIP archive.
